There are men on the roofs against the grey-white sky
There are men on the roofs and I don't know why
They follow the clouds crossing other people's places
They walk with the wind and they don't leave traces

Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes

Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song

Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie
London sky

Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes

Darkest name of the plane
High above war fears dove

Rain forethought, untried chord
Crows go west, home is best

Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song

Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie
London sky
