Greenaway

[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
