White chalk hills are all I've known

 White chalk hills will rot my bones

 White chalk sticking to my shoes

 White chalk playing as a child with you

Oooh ooh ooooh

Oooh ooh ooooh

 White chalk stands against time

 White chalk cutting down the sea at night

 I walk the valleys by the surf

 On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago

 And I know these chalk hills will rot my

Bones

 Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea

 Where I walked our unborn child in me

 White chalk, poor scattered land

Scratch my palms

 There's blood on my hands
