Greenaway versuri

Greenaway lyrics by Sir John Betjeman, Paul Young Manchester, Mike Read

Verse 1
I know so well this turfy mile
These clumps of sea-pink withered brown
The breezy cliff, the awkward stile
The sandy path that takes me down

Verse 2
To crackling layers of broken slate
Where black and flat sea-woodlice crawl
And isolated rock pools wait
Wash from the highest tides of all

Chorus
But in dreams the other night
I saw this coastline from the sea
And felt the break of lunching wine
The weight of waters over me
Greenaway, Greenaway
I know so well
Greenaway, Greenaway
I know so well

Verse 3
I know the roughly blasted track
That skirts a small and smelly bay
And over squelching bladderwrack
Leads to the beach at Greenaway

Verse 4
Down on the shingle – safe at last
I hear the slowly dragging roar
As mighty rollers mount to cast
Small coal and seaweed on the shore

Chorus
But in a dream the other night
I saw this coastline from the sea
And felt the break of lunching wine
The weight of waters over me
Greenaway, Greenaway
I know so well
Oh, Greenaway, oh, Greenaway
I know so well

Verse 5
And spurting far as it can reach
The shooting surf comes hissing ‘round
To heave a line along the beach
Of cowries waiting to be found

Chorus
But in a dream the other night
I saw this coastline from the sea
And felt the break of lunching wine
The weight of waters over me
Greenaway, Greenaway
I know so well
Greenaway, oh, Greenaway
I know so well
Greenaway, oh, Greenaway
I know so well
Oh, Greenaway, oh, Greenaway
I know so well

Outro
Greenaway, Greenaway
I know so well
Greenaway, oh, Greenaway
I know so well
Oh, Greenaway
