North Shields fish quay towards the low lights

from FAWM demos 2021 by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

Been winter here a long long time, a long long time
and wind and fog are our only friends, our only friends
I think I saw him there today
and I think I heard the street beneath his feet

chorus

He was standing by the low lights
standing by the low lights
and then the low lights let him go

Captured by the storm that had a name, that had a name
and it washed away his fading glow, his fading glow
fish quay, distant boats, and calls of birds
gather round around the fire and burn

repeat chorus

And he won't be there again, anyway
he came, he went, he moved, he stole, he left
and the wind is somewhere dancing with him now

And I thought I heard his voice one day, his voice one day
but it could just have been the rain you know, the rain your know
it makes its sound upon the ground
changing all to different shades of grey

And I was standing by the low lights
by the low lights, by the low lights
by the low lights on thequay
and the low lights won't let me be free
