"Burgh Island" lyrics
(feat. Monica Heldal)
With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go
And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I ever known
With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
And the sun chides you so long
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And we'll break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I ever known
With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
And the sun chides you so long
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And we'll break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
