[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Your Carnation Revolution was buried
In these rock pools and I'm grateful
And the sun looks like the afterlife here
A battlefield after the rainfall

[Chorus]
And we walked out on
Out on to The Burren
Four feet from the wind
Full of yesteryear's sorrow
Bad dreams within
We were children again
We were children

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
And hope hit me like blasted stone
A rattlesnake unturned
My bloodline
Now can't you see I'm letting go?
I'll take with me
What you left to burn
[Chorus]
And we walked out on
Out on to The Burren
Four feet from the wind
Full of yesteryear's sorrow
Bad dreams within
We were children again
We were children

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]
Oh, I come here to borrow time
Oh, I come here to start a fire
Oh, I come here to borrow time
Oh, I come here to start a fire
