Story behind the song
The lyric came out of random events and observations from one of our first trips to Northumberland, where we're now happily living. For those military aviation nerds out there (yes you) yes I know Blackhawks aren't commonly used as gunships and we wouldn't have seen them in the UK anyway but Apache didn't fit so there it is.
Lyrics
We reached the shore the third day Silver sand a welcome change Blackhawk gunships overhead This is where the footprints end Just one question if I may: How much longer can we stay? Paths we knew confound our way Ask if we can touch the cow Thinking of what had been lost Where the river meets the sea Oh the tangled web we weave Who will stay after we leave? Oh the tangled web we weave (just one question if I may) Oh the tangled web we weave (just one question if I may) Oh the tangled web we weave (just one question if I may) Oh the tangled web we weave (just one question if I may) Painting pictures in the clouds Clock strikes 18 minutes to Fipping kippers from the stream Tea for three beside the shore Just one question if you would: Can life ever get this good?
