Living by the Water Songtext
von The Owl Service

I was living by the water
Late July moon′s early quarter
Summer mornings, early dawnings
Paid no heed to me, gave no warning
Of their endless way

On the mountain, there my song I'll sing
As the wind plays in the crow′s wing
And I saw moorland horses
Dancing over the plains of the deadland marshes

Sun is shifting in the wind
Oh, these times, they have no end

On the lonely sands
It was there I made my way


Tide is turning; there's no waiting
Day was long; now, the sun is setting

Sun is shifting in the wind
Oh, these times, they have no end

On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way

I was living by the water
Late July moon's early quarter
Summer mornings, early dawnings
Paid no heed to me, gave no warning
Of their endless way

By the sea curlews calling
Hear the summer stars are falling
Fire burning in the sun
Lighting up their way


On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way
