Loading...

[verse 1]
i know so well this turfy mile
these clumps of sea+pink withered brown
the breezy cliff, the awkward stile
the sandy path that takes me down

[verse 2]
to crackling layers of broken slate
where black and flat sea+woodlice crawl
and isolated rock pools wait
wash from the highest tides of all

[chorus]
but in dreams the other night
i saw this coastline from the sea
and felt the break of lunching wine
the weight of waters over me
greenaway, greenaway
i know so well
greenaway, greenaway
i know so well

[verse 3]
i know the roughly blasted track
that skirts a small and smelly bay
and over squelching bladderwrack
leads to the beach at greenaway
[verse 4]
down on the shingle + safe at last
i hear the slowly dragging roar
as mighty rollers mount to cast
small coal and seaweed on the shore

[chorus]
but in a dream the other night
i saw this coastline from the sea
and felt the break of lunching wine
the weight of waters over me
greenaway, greenaway
i know so well
oh, greenaway, oh, greenaway
i know so well

[verse 5]
and spurting far as it can reach
the shooting surf comes hissing ’round
to heave a line along the beach
of cowries waiting to be found

[chorus]
but in a dream the other night
i saw this coastline from the sea
and felt the break of lunching wine
the weight of waters over me
greenaway, greenaway
i know so well
greenaway, oh, greenaway
i know so well
greenaway, oh, greenaway
i know so well
oh, greenaway, oh, greenaway
i know so well
[outro]
greenaway, greenaway
i know so well
greenaway, oh, greenaway
i know so well
oh, greenaway
