Lyrics The Cape - Martha Tilston

The Cape

The cape, the coastal path, the waves crashing
Under our feet subsawning shaking cliff
We climb over the rocks and scrape our skin
Didn’t I say I’d love you 'til the caves fall in
Didn’t I say I’d love you 'til the caves fall in
Well I love you still and life is long
I love you still and life is long
I love you still and life is long
I love you still and life is long
Its late the sea is turning kind of indigo
And all of the tourists climb back up the hill so cold
They take with them their windbreaks
And bright stripes and plastic and sawnies
Now there is only you and I and the pagan sea.
You know this is the first place
I felt my soul get free
We were so young then and now… the sea is so ready
Well I love you still and life is long
I love you still and life is long
I love you still and life is long
Look, I love you still and life is long
I’m moving through there’s something wrong
Away from you I don’t belong
