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

 

Celebrate deliberate bark at the moon levitate honky tonk

exaggerate rock it bop it what’s the news today

 

Tracks winding under and over the cliffs

I watch them pushing a boat out to sea

lighthouses peer through a foggy mist

 

Sparks from the fire light up the room

the bottle is empty my memory gone

a deafening silence so dark i can’t see

poltergeist activity

 

Celebrate deliberate bark at the moon levitate honky tonk

exaggerate rock it bop it what’s the news today
