We Were Giants - Stornoway
There were great grey skies
On the great grey ocean
There were rusting cars
On the rusting hills
Tell me of the time
We could walk for miles
On a road to nowhere
Tell me of the time
We were happy as we staggered
Through the fields
With the lights of the house in our minds
Did we lift up the roof
From the walls when we arrived
Did we step right into the bedroom
Tell me of the time
There were deep dark lakes
In the scree torn valleys
I can see your face in the failing light
Tell me of the time no one in this world
Knew where we were going
Tell me of the time
Tell me of the time we were happy
As we staggered through the fields
With the lights of the house in our minds
Did we lift up the roof
From the walls when we arrived
Did we step right into the bedroom
Did we slide into sleep
With the future in our heads
Or did we climb on the ruins of our castle
Did we see the curve of the earth
From where we stood side by side
With the clouds around our ankles
Tell me of the time
When the nights were colder baby
Tell me of the time
You and I were closer baby
Tell me of the time
There were great grey skies
On the great grey ocean
