British Sea Power

Where I come from, silvery trees
Diamond on leaf, can"t you see it?
Why did I leave?
The clipping of wings
The draping of kings
I was here long before you
Now kindly leave
This was far far away
And I knew I would not stay
Down on the ground
I"ll be found
I opened up my mouth
I didn"t make a sound
I could not cut you down, down, down
