Cover Your Eyes Lyrics

Karine Polwart Cover Your Eyes

I was Farrah Fawcett, you were Steve McQueen And we rode your silver Grifter Half the way from Aberdeen

And the waves fall How they fall

I kept lookout in the marram grass U-boats on the skyline Commandos at the pass

And the waves fall How they fall

The tide still ebbs and flows where the Ythan meets the ocean And not even God himself ould can stop the northerlies from blowing You can tear these dunes asunder Pound this wonder into dust with your cruel hands and crooked hearts laden with lust and expensive lies But the haar will stumble in to cover your eyes The haar will stumble in

You said "Michael blew the clouds away" And sure a scarlet shard of sunset scores the granite grey

And the waves fall How they fall

And the tide still ebbs and flows ...
