Living by the Water

[Chorus]
I was living by the water
Late July moon's early quarter
Summer mornings, early dawnings
Paid no heed to me, gave no warning
Of their endless way

[Verse 1]
Sea tide flowing in the river
Is all the music I would ever
Have the long, long day
Since I went away

[Verse 2]
By the sea curlews calling
Hear the summer stars falling
Fire burning in the sun
Lighting up their way

[Bridge]
On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way

[Chorus]
On the mountain therе my song I'll sing
When the wind plays in the ravеn's wing
And I saw moorland horses
Dancing over the plains of the deadland marshes
Down to the sea

[Verse 3]
Voices from the empty moor
They call me past the stranger's door
Because I keep no company
I make no enemies

[Verse 4]
The tide is turning, there is no waiting
Day was long, the sun setting
Sand shifting in the wind
These times they have no end

[Outro]
On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way
