lyrics

Late,
Blue-ringed eyes meet every wave
Flaked,
Splintered bare feet long beyond care
Shame,
Long lost after fifteen ocean games
Tea,
Soggy biscuits and the taste of fresh fish

Shut your eyes you’ve been hardly beat by seven years at sea, how could you ever leave?

Stop blaming me, we’ve always been sinking
and taking on water, water, water, water.

Night,
Damp bunk beds the back of your head
Day,
Sunburnt shoulders, gasping for air
Held,
Murmurs and glances, your lips held tight
Daft,
Wrinkled bound hands drift out of sight

Shut your eyes you’ve been hardly beat by seven years at sea, how could you ever leave?

Stop blaming me, we’ve always been sinking
and taking on water, water, water, water.

Land,
A deserted beach, the smell of other men
Squint,
Are we on a deck or treading sand?
Burnt,
Retreat to our trusted cabin
Leave,
Sail out before we forget how to forget

Oars swinging free, they scream and plead,
as you’re cruising through water.

Stop blaming me, we’ve always been sinking
and taking on water, water, water, water.

about

My Grey Horse Stratford Upon Avon, UK

My Grey Horse was formed of 5 friends who spent 5 years making music that anchored their existence.

We're really proud of these records but now it makes sense to move on.

Thanks to anybody who listened to our stuff, bought our records, came to shows or supported us in anyway over the years: we couldn't be more grateful. You've been incredible.

Love from,
Pete, John, Oobah, Joe and Tom.
