Greenaway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know so well this turfy mile These clumps of sea-pink withered brown The breezy cliff, the awkward stile The sandy path that takes me down [Verse 2] To crackling layers of broken slate Where black and flat sea-woodlice crawl And isolated rock pools wait Wash from the highest tides of all [Chorus] But in dreams the other night I saw this coastline from the sea And felt the break of lunching wine The weight of waters over me Greenaway, Greenaway I know so well Greenaway, Greenaway I know so well [Verse 3] I know the roughly blasted track That skirts a small and smelly bay And over squelching bladderwrack Leads to the beach at Greenaway [Verse 4] Down on the shingle - safe at last I hear the slowly dragging roar As mighty rollers mount to cast Small coal and seaweed on the shore [Chorus] But in a dream the other night I saw this coastline from the sea And felt the break of lunching wine The weight of waters over me Greenaway, Greenaway I know so well Oh, Greenaway, oh, Greenaway I know so well [Verse 5] And spurting far as it can reach The shooting surf comes hissing 'round To heave a line along the beach Of cowries waiting to be found [Chorus] But in a dream the other night I saw this coastline from the sea And felt the break of lunching wine The weight of waters over me Greenaway, Greenaway I know so well Greenaway, oh, Greenaway I know so well Greenaway, oh, Greenaway I know so well Oh, Greenaway, oh, Greenaway I know so well [Outro] Greenaway, Greenaway I know so well Greenaway, oh, Greenaway I know so well Oh, Greenaway
