The walled Caves of Ravenscraig Songtext

von Jackie Leven

I have come back here
From the haunted days
'The ship is saileth
On the foame'
The oystercatchers
Mark the darkening wave
And the spirits stands alone

And I have wandered
In the western isles
And I have sang
With men of time
The evening sun
Reflects a stranger smile
The colour red
In sea and stone

And in the east
The shadows fill the coves
And ghostly women
Walk in tears
The miners crawl
Under the Firth of Forth
With metal ringing
In their ears

Though men may suffer
On an evil sea
And live the sorrow
Of the times
The tide of coal dust
Moves away from me
And scarlet bells
Begin to chime
