Lyrics The Coldharbour Road - 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 white horses 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
