Shingle Song Songtext
von Peter Hammill

You can see in the last light that′s graced as dawn
That there's nothing in my heart but pain
As I stand facing sea knowing that you′re gone
All the elements rage to explain
That I should really be on my way
But there is something which ensures I must stay


Beneath the roar of the seething surf
Beneath the caterwaul of scattered cawing
Thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard
And now the dance of rapture begins
As the waves rush along across the beach
Like you, like your love, forever out of reach

I look at the sea but it's empty now
I look at the sky, well, that holds nothing but despair
I raise my eyes but my head stays bowed
I look to my side and you're not there

And I can′t get you out of my mind
No, I just can′t get you from my mind
And I can't get you out of my mind
No, no, no, no, I just can′t get you from my mind
No, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind
No, no, no, I just can′t get you from my mind
