Stornoway Sea Legs Lyrics

Was a time when you had no face
No eyes or ears, no nose or tongue
But you had teeth and your back was strong

Was a time when I let you go
You went down deep and sunk your teeth
Into the kelp and there you held
Tried to forget about you

But every time that I stood still
My house went rolling, turning, and tipping
And lying in my bunk, I had the strangest feeling
Like an anchor slipping

And suddenly I knew you had a warp around me
And I needed you to hold on
'Cause every time the wind swung 'round
I turned towards you

Was a time when you held me steady
Thе coast was clear and I was ready
To go further than еver before

Then came a day when I couldn't see you I let you down, you cut me free
And I went drifting like a bird across the sea
Thought you forgot about me

But every time that I stood still
My house went rolling, turning, and tipping
And lying in my bunk, I had the strangest feeling
Like an anchor slipping

And suddenly I knew you had a warp around me
And I needed you to hold on
Yes, suddenly I knew you had a warp around me
And I needed you to hold on

Suddenly I knew you had a warp around me
And I needed you to hold on
'Cause every time the wind swings round I remember

Was a time when I saw your face
Your eyes were wild, your hair was long
I fell in deep and the tide was strong
