Woodpigeon Redbeard lyrics

When you sailed off on your way / I swam to follow you / I don’t rely on satellite / I’ve got to see this through / you stole and burned most everything / the life that I once knew / but through the flames / your eyes explained / you didn’t mean it true / I braved the waves for days / and finally caught on a view / grabbed to the bow / and sternly vowed / I climbed on board for you / sleeping tight / crept to your side / revenge had come for you / your waking eyes – oh paradise! / love at first sight true / I can’t explain my vanished pain / you freed me then I knew / I spent the night by your side / since then it’s me and you / but age it came and took / the redbeard that I knew / but that’s ok / in here today / the grey it suits you too / the grey it suits you too / the grey it suits you too
