Stornoway Lost Youth Lyrics

High up in the valley where the snow still lies
Hiding in the shadow of the mountain side
We are lost

Washed into the river with the sticks and stones
Buried in the gravel with the mammoth's bones
We are lost

And we know just what we want
But we don't know how to describe it
So we keep it locked up inside
We don't want anybody else to find it
We are shaking from the shallows in a winter storm
Flushed into the channel to be swept offshore
We are lost

Cast upon the jetty on a moonlit night
Thrust into the city on a big spring tide
We are lost

And we don't know where we stand
But we think we know what we stand for
Still we keep it all locked inside
Because nobody else could understand why

We are lost (we are lost)
We are lost with nobody else to blame And we gather in the shadows where we build our strength
Examining each other for the final test
We are lost
We climb into the rocket heading out to space
We come into the orbit of a new found race
We are lost

And we know we're growing up
But we won't know until we get there
Have to keep it locked up inside
Don't know if anybody else has been there
And we can tell them where we are from
But we dont know if they believe it
So we keep it locked up inside
We don't let anybody share our secrets

We are lost (we are lost)
We are lost but now we know we're on our way

We are lost (we are lost, we are lost)
On our way to find peace between our bodies and our brains
We are lost
We are lost
