Living by the Water Songtext
von The Unthanks

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

Seatide flowing in the river
Is all the music I would ever
Have, a long, long day since I went away


On the mountain there my song I'll sing
When the wind plays in the raven′s wing
And I saw maudlin horses
Dancing over the plains of the deadland marshes

Down to the sea voices from the empty moor
They call me past the stranger's door
Because I keep no company I make no enemies

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