lyrics

Aberavon Beach

All my lonely bones
They have nowhere else to go
They just creak and moan
Like the columns of a pier
They’ll barely hold me for
My midnight walks to the sea
I want to be a stone
I want to be the heaviest

Washed up on the beach
A dead man’s ransom
An industrial town’s
Familiar anthem
Down here on the coast
The weight of the water
Crashes daily and erode
Traces of anything
That doesn’t feel like home

We are all grains of sand
So fine we’re forgotten
We’ll slip between the gaps
Count down the seconds

Filling like a jar
With thunder and lightening
I can’t trust my heart
To keep on beating
This hospital gown
Blue like the ocean
The horizon calls me out
With morphine promises
To numb the itching

I want to be a stone
I want to be the heaviest stone
I want to be a stone
I’ll sink alone
