Milford Haven Lyrics & Tabs by Oysterband
Milford Haven
guitar chords lyrics
She touched the scars upon his body
Traced the veins beneath his skin
It felt so right to leave him sleeping
Yet her head began to spin
And when she left, she left no letter
What you don't say no one hears
She shut the door on empty voices
On regret and wasted years
She saw the moon over Milford Haven
Stars in a flaming sky
She stepped out into the sunrise
And she found that she could fly
And when she felt her wings unfold
All the tales that she'd been told
And the heavy shoes and the band of gold
And when she felt her wings unfold
All the tales that she'd been told
And the heavy shoes and the band of gold
Fell away like melting snow
She crossed the naked spine of England
While the sun was at its height
Solway Sands and Kielder Water
Far below her left and right
And somewhere north of Tobermory
They say her path began to climb
She was heading for Newfoundland
And she might be gone some time
She saw the moon over Milford Haven
Stars over Plymouth Sound
She flew as high as heaven
And she said, I won't come down
And when she felt her wings unfold
All the tales that she'd been told
And the heavy shoes and the band of gold
Fell away like melting snow
She saw the moon over Milford Haven
Stars in a flaming sky
She stepped out into the sunrise
And she found that she could fly
She could fly
