Landscape

Florence + The Machine · MTV Unplugged [2012]

She can't see the landscape anymore

It's all painted in her grief

All of her history etched out at her feet



Now all of the landscape, it's just an empty place

Echoes and warning, mountains of tenderness



Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together

Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow

Cause it's burning through the bloodline

it's coming down the family tree

Rolling in the landscape, darling, in between you and me



She wants the silence but fears the solitude

She wants to be alone and together with you

So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see

She's sober at the lighthouse and then washed out to sea



Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together

Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow

Cause it's burning through the bloodline

it's coming down the family tree

Rolling in the landscape, darling, in between you and me



I wanna give you back the open sky

Give you back the open sea

Open up the ages, darling, for you to see



You put the gun into your mouth to die

You put the lid and spit out

Cause it's running in the family

Oh the rich and



Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together

Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow

Cause it's burning through the bloodline

it's coming down the family tree

Rolling in the landscape, darling, in between you and me
