Westray Songtext
von Weeping Tile

A natural disaster comes out, wasn′t natural after all
In some small town on the east coast, they've gathered in a firehall
Who forgot to let the canary out?
Will you be there when they′re pulling bodies out?

Now there are strange things done under the gun
By the men who moil for coal
Eastern gales have howled out tales
That would make your blood run cold

Lighthouse eyes watch us spies
And they put a word out on me
That night you and I got lost on the drive
Up the coast of the Northumberland sea

You'll know in a little while
If this was meant to be

Are you afraid of you?
Are you afraid of me?


Now there wasn't a breath in the land of death
And I hurried, horror driven
Was it something I said somewhere in her head?
I just asked for the answers given

Twenty minutes up the road
Just off the great highway
Well, I won′t be around here for long
I did not come to stay

You′ll know in a little while
If this was meant to be

Are you afraid of you?
Are you afraid of me?

One year later it has yet to come clear
No one's doing anything
′Cause they're scared of the way that they might appear
They′re ignoring all the signals they could not afford to hear

Private investors in public fear
My hopes exceed my expectations
My hopes exceed my expectations

You'll know in a little while
If this was meant to be
Are you afraid of you?
Are you afraid of me?
