Between The Saltmarsh and the Sea

Between The Saltmarsh and the Sea - Stornoway

You come and go but you

You can't resist me

You let yourself in and

You climb up beside me

And build me up and

You make me beautiful

You wash my hair and you

You feed my horses you

You leave your shoes and

You make your excuses and

Go and you go and

You make me thirst for you

And when I breathe

I will breathe you in

I will breathe you into my veins

And when you leave

You will leave me exposed

You will open me up to the birds and the rain

And when you are calm

You are blue and reflective you

You trace my palm

With your icy fingers and

Catch the light and

You make me beautiful

And when you're wild

You get under my skin you rub

Salt in old wounds and

You tear at my limbs

Till you tire and you go and

You make me weep for you

And when I breathe I will breathe you in

I will breathe you into my brain

And when you leave

You will leave me exposed

And the birds come and

Prey on my nerves

And you give some and

You'll take away

In the moods that

You can't control

And we'll drift apart and collide again

'Cos our lives have been tied

By the weight of a powerful force

There's a powerful force

When I breathe

I will breathe you in

I will breathe you deeply into my veins

And when you leave

You will leave me exposed

And the birds will descend

On my nerves again again
