Stornoway lyrics

Perfectly wrong

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

The stair was winding leading elsewhere

she walked up to the other side

and said don’t worry I am ready

I had a good time but I lost the fight

Boginya

Music by Rob de Weerd & lyrics by Emilie Blom

On sunday a dream set his soul on fire

on monday he’d turn the page a new chapter in life

the house was painfully quiet

he left his specs on the table he knew where to go

I still do

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom and Rob de Weerd

You ask me where did the years go what have we done

you don’t know what i’m thinking and doubt if i’m still the one

close your eyes we’ll try harder don’t torture yourself

hold my hand i’m here for you you know me so well

How long are you going away for

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

I try and fight the demons everyday of the week

you are playing hide with me  I play seek

it’s a game I don’t feel like playing

I try and fight the demons everyday of the week

I know you’ve got a secret tucked up your sleeve

is it worth the pain is it worth the pain

Our city was there

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

I imagine an other us in the wreckage of our life

I imagine an other us in the wreckage of our life

we rush put on our clothes and leave the place behind

people weep in the hate-filled air men flee without their wives

children crying out for help are running for their lives

You win

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

You win I lose I made you an offer you can’t refuse

manic and a little magic don’t you tell me you don’t like it

I smile I cry i wait and wait you give me no reply

so rude and impolite i’m getting dizzy dizzy here can’t sleep at night

Trying not to fall

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

I am flying trying not to fall

some birds don’t need a cage at all

our feathers are bright our song sweet and wild

no one is watching

John

Music by Rob de Weerd & lyrics by Rob de Weerd and Emilie Blom

John, how are you today is life on the road still okay
John how does it feel have you still got your hands on the wheel
are you still going strong for days on end
is the road still your best friend

Stornoway

Music & lyrics by Emilie Blom

Abandoned houses

what is the story

a suitcase lies open

Fridge is empty shop is closed

the drains collapsed the bath is cold

gusty rain

scallop pakora nocturnal food
