White Chalk Lyrics by Pj Harvey
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

White chalk stands against time
White chalk cutting down the sea at night
I walk families by the surf
On a path cut 1500 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
Scratched my palms, there's blood on my hands
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      White chalk stands against time   White chalk cutting down the sea at night   I walk families by the surf   On a path cut 1500 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   Scratched my palms, there's blood on my hands
