Stornoway - Knock Me On the Head lyrics
[Stornoway - Knock Me On the Head lyrics]
There's a hunger in the air and
Lemons swollen in the trees
When shadows fall across the moon
I strain my ears towards the breeze
A wasted summer listening
Secluded as a cemetery
Withered limbs under the sand
For an hourglass eternity
You hung an albatross around my neck
When you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
Jackal legs and kangal dogs are
Floating dark as forestry
A woman dangles from a bridge on
A thread of silver mercury
You hung an albatross around my neck
But, you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
I saw a feathered silhouette on
The crest of unforgiving waves
It hovered over salty air and i
Couldn't tear my eyes away
And somewhere in between the lines
I drifted into fantasy
But, you're the only open book
A portal to a star-crossed sea
You hung an albatross around my neck
When you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
Lemons swollen in the trees
When shadows fall across the moon
I strain my ears towards the breeze
A wasted summer listening
Secluded as a cemetery
Withered limbs under the sand
For an hourglass eternity
You hung an albatross around my neck
When you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
Jackal legs and kangal dogs are
Floating dark as forestry
A woman dangles from a bridge on
A thread of silver mercury
You hung an albatross around my neck
But, you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
I saw a feathered silhouette on
The crest of unforgiving waves
It hovered over salty air and i
Couldn't tear my eyes away
And somewhere in between the lines
I drifted into fantasy
But, you're the only open book
A portal to a star-crossed sea
You hung an albatross around my neck
When you needed to knock me
On the head and say "no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
I've seen the ghost of my
Anathema upon my bed
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
"no! no! no! no! no!"
