Teignmouth Lyrics

Teignmouth lyrics

Teignmouth 

On the night train 

From the city to the south 

I
saw spirits 

Crawl across the river mouth 

In skewed ascension 

With no destination 

Like this lone bachelor in me 

This constant
yearning 

For great love and learning 

For the wind to carry me
free 



So when the birds fly south 

I'll Reach up and hold
their tails 

Pull up and out of here 

And bridle the autumn gales


Down to the burning cliffs 

To the unrelenting roll 

To
marry the untold blisses 

And anchor this lost soul 



From my
window 

I saw two birds lost at sea 

I caught our reflection 

In that silent tragedy 

But with hope prevailing 

I draw galleons
sailing 

In full sail billowing free 



So when the birds fly
south 

We'll reach up and hold their tails 

Pull up and out of here


And bridle the autumn gales 

I give you my hand 

The fingers
unfold 

To have and forever hold 

To marry the untold blisses 

And anchor this lost soul
