Back of The Aisler

歌詞

Ansel? arms embrace the shore Driven through the iron ore Steeped in history and lore A day at the back o' the Aisler Cormorants and razorbills Gannets diving after krill Oyster catchers on the wing A day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler Rock pools standing high and dry Neglecting me and sun and sky Listening for the seagull cry A day at the back o' the Aisler Mussel banks at low tide ebb Seaweed spread like a spider's web Stoads? walk too like a drunken neb A day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler Monsters stranded on the beach We start the shines in cockles deep An air o' grief at the harbour reach A day at the back o' the Aisler Huddling roond the driftwood fire Ghostly tales from a brilliant liar Wishing we would never tire Of a day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler Ruts in the tracks frae the ancient keels Dance lines skipping behind those heels The Aislers knew a place for creel A day at the back o' the Aisler Evening sun tae warm ya back Skipping stones that the high sites lack Dead man's tide 'cause your elbows crack A day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler Taste the ozone in our lung Shivering cold from too much sun Grandma's kale will keep us warm A day at the back o' the Aisler Forty years have come and gone Since I was a boy and the days were long The magic still goes on and on A day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler Come to the town in the morning light Handsome cliffs to the left and right Hoddling hame in the dead of night A day at the back o' the Aisler
