about

Single version of Robin Elliott's song Another Country, from the album There is a Land

lyrics

away
over that line
that line that if left runs a ring round the sky
comes curving a coastline up out of the sea
the unquiet sea shifting restless
between her and me

in a dream I am moving
I take step after step
but I can't reach the land
no closer do I get
and my words have no meaning here
hanging over the sea
and she's in another country from me

are you there, are you there, are you there

beyond the blue of your eyes
move subtly the meanings you might choose to hide
the curve of your body
the beat of your heart
pressed close to my own
in my arms
in the dark

she speaks a different language
says I don't understand
what it means that across the sea
there is a land

another country another country
come closer she'll show you further away
mirage of the desert hanging over the waves
she's in another country from me

I flew over the ocean
waves below, clouds above
I asked her if she remembered she'd said
nothing means anything without love
(are you there)
don't you hear me calling your name
(are you there)
why are you turning away
(are you there)
I wanted you so much that I could not say

another country another country
we just don't say what we mean what we say
and I walk out your door but you don't go away
she's in another country from me

Robin Elliott London, UK

Extraordinary songwriter and performer.

Funnier and more self-deprecating than this makes me sound.

Forthcoming album There is a Land is awash with novel narrative strategies and novelty Brexit tunes.
