Stornoway Excelsior Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've lost the feeling, the feeling in your fingers
You've lost the fight against the threads you cannot see
I stand beneath you to see the open window
To see the light pour in

[Chorus]
Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more
Your crown is broken and glitters in the frost
And you're more than silence lost
[Verse 2]
I trace a finger across your mighty heartwood
And count the years that you were leaning to the sun For soon your kingdom will turn into a garden
With ramsons in full bloom

[Chorus]
Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more
Your crown is broken and glitters in the frost
And you're more than silence lost
Than silence lost
Than silence lost

[Outro]
Will we remember the feeling in our fingers?
You're more than silence lost
You're more than silence lost
Excelsior, excelsior, excelsior no more
