Milford Haven Lyrics by Oysterband

Granite Years (The Best of 1986–1997)

0

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
And somewhere north of Tobermory
They say her path began to climb
She was heading for Newfoundland
And she might be gone some time

[Chorus]
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"

[Post-Chorus]
She's been told
Wings unfold

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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 saw the moon over Milford Haven
Stars in a flaming sky
She stepped out into the sunrise
And she found that she could fly

[Outro]
She could fly
She could fly
