Lyrics

On the pier in the half light
We lured the ships to the island
There’s not so much around here now
The tide rolls in

No message in a bottle just a scrap
of old synthetic debris, that’s older than me

Old photographs of the main street
Where the family bar used to be
The shop fronts, all just paintings now
There’s nothing left

But the ruins sleep perfectly still, they wait until they’re reconnected below and they can let go

The house I took my first steps in
Where my mother grew up too young
We’ve not been back for years now

We’ll make it go and get it, we’re all so young
