Pentyre Town Lyrics & Tabs by Bluehorses
Pentyre Town
guitar chords lyrics
Foam flies white over rocks of black
Nights are dark when the boats go down
But souls flit back on the wild winds track
And they gather in Pentyre Town
Wild grey gulls in the narrow streets
Weaving, wavering to and fro
Hear the echo of vanished feet
Flocking as the sun sinks low
The nights are dark when the boats go down
The nights are dark when the boats go down
Pale she stands at her open door
Dark little streets of a fishing town
Feel the voices from sea and shore
In the air as the sun goes down
One sails past with an outstretched beak
Feel the voices from sea and shore
In the air as the sun goes down
One sails past with an outstretched beak
White throat high in a wailing cry
Stoops his wing to a woman's cheek
Light as he wavers by
Still as a dream until it was nearly morning
Sails burn rosy from afar
Alien songs that bring her loves voice calling
Alive with ruby hearted stars
Still she stands at her open door
Flickering sun is faint and far
Woe is heavy you doubt no more
The waves on the dull doombar
No boat stirs on the dark sea breast
Clouds that writhe on a palid sky
Storm winds wail to the lurid west
Shrill as a sea bird cry
