The Coldharbour Road Lyrics

Stornoway The Coldharbour Road

I am a seabird you are the arctic ocean
I know your seasons and your sanctuaries
And when I'm wheeling over your wild wide waters I know
There's nowhere else that I belong


I am a small town you are a tornado
And down the high street you tear into me
Bring down the power lines and you twist the heart right
out of me
Leaving my outskirts devastated


And as you're going tears are flowing
'Cos while you're leaving I'm still believing


You are a memory I am the mind you enter
A single moment in a single bed
This is the feeling you are bringing back to me of when
I was on the coldharbour road


And now you're going tears are flowing
'Cos while you're leaving I'm still believing
All in the morning and my ears are ringing
As I lie wide awake on the living room floor
