Migration - The Innocence Mission

My love will sail this ship

Through great storms and ice floes

He is not afraid as I am

He is not afraid

And this is why he knows the way

And this is why he knows the way

He knows the way

Oh my brothers and sisters, he is so kind

Despite the losses that have made us this sad

Five blocks of sidewalk chalk he steers us clear of

Blue ice skaters and animals

And this is why he knows the way

And this is why he knows the way

He knows the way

All the birds of this neighborhood are leaving

Some days we feel left behind
