We Were Giants - Stornoway
There were great grey skies
On the great grey ocean

There were rusting cars
On the rusting hills

Tell me of the time
We could walk for miles
On a road to nowhere

Tell me of the time
We were happy as we staggered
Through the fields
With the lights of the house in our minds

Did we lift up the roof
From the walls when we arrived

Did we step right into the bedroom

Tell me of the time

There were deep dark lakes
In the scree torn valleys

I can see your face in the failing light

Tell me of the time no one in this world

Knew where we were going

Tell me of the time

Tell me of the time we were happy
As we staggered through the fields
With the lights of the house in our minds

Did we lift up the roof
From the walls when we arrived

Did we step right into the bedroom
Did we slide into sleep
With the future in our heads
Or did we climb on the ruins of our castle

Did we see the curve of the earth
From where we stood side by side

With the clouds around our ankles

Tell me of the time

When the nights were colder baby
Tell me of the time

You and I were closer baby
Tell me of the time

There were great grey skies
On the great grey ocean
