Stornoway - November Song lyrics
[Stornoway - November Song lyrics]
As I was following the road back to our house
Deeper than blue was the
Dusk through the trees
With the last of the leaves clinging
On like my mother’s hand
Cold as the sandpaper wind on my cheeks
Over the river and under the railway
Moonlight in silver the ribbon of blue
And the phone lines were whistling
Like my mother’s breathing
And my eyes were streaming
There’s a clock on my wall
Sometimes I hear it in my dreams
But, I won’t be afraid of
The changes a comin’
While I know a love that
Is sure as the morning
There’s a light in the clockhouse
A light in the chapel
A light in the hallway left on by an angel
And I creep up the stairs and
I pause at the threshold
To take off my boots and
My clothes in the dark
With my nose like a fox and
My skin like a chicken
I steal into my bed where
It’s warm as an oven
And you feel like the bread
Made in my mother’s kitchen
And we’re peaceful as a candle
And the clock on my wall
Sometimes I hear it in my dreams
But, I won’t be afraid of
The changes a comin’
While I know a love that
Won’t break with the dawn
No, I won’t be afraid of
The darkness a comin’
No, I won’t be afraid of
The darkness a comin’
While I know a love that’s
Sure as the morning
Deeper than blue was the
Dusk through the trees
With the last of the leaves clinging
On like my mother’s hand
Cold as the sandpaper wind on my cheeks
Over the river and under the railway
Moonlight in silver the ribbon of blue
And the phone lines were whistling
Like my mother’s breathing
And my eyes were streaming
There’s a clock on my wall
Sometimes I hear it in my dreams
But, I won’t be afraid of
The changes a comin’
While I know a love that
Is sure as the morning
There’s a light in the clockhouse
A light in the chapel
A light in the hallway left on by an angel
And I creep up the stairs and
I pause at the threshold
To take off my boots and
My clothes in the dark
With my nose like a fox and
My skin like a chicken
I steal into my bed where
It’s warm as an oven
And you feel like the bread
Made in my mother’s kitchen
And we’re peaceful as a candle
And the clock on my wall
Sometimes I hear it in my dreams
But, I won’t be afraid of
The changes a comin’
While I know a love that
Won’t break with the dawn
No, I won’t be afraid of
The darkness a comin’
No, I won’t be afraid of
The darkness a comin’
While I know a love that’s
Sure as the morning
