The first sighrens track ever released, back in the day. Partly inspired by the Hugh MacDiarmaid poem of the same name and partly inspired by the small, dark, winter villages of Scotland.
lyrics
We walked to where the lights end,
To where the silence freezes on fields.
And we watched
And we waited...
...nothing was revealed.
Sensing something unseen we listened more closely,
Beasts shifted anxiously then as suddenly stilled,
So we watched
And we waited...
...nothing was revealed.
Returning empty along familiar black paths,
Our jackets heavy, crystalled with sleet.
To the vacant chink and chatter,
Our clever hands stiffened red,
Our soundless, sodden feet.
From the window the picture shifts slowly.
The moon and the clouds combine and there is the thrill.
Still we watch
And we wait
but nothing is revealed.
Here in this house there's a Hallowe'en apple smell.
A girl's laughter in the streets rings like a bell.
And we watch
And we wait
but nothing is revealed.
