Walking a path down to the sea
Past thrift and iris bright
On a chimney stack a tiny bird with a big voice
O’ what a voice
As salt air pinches skin
Where mountains touch the waters edge
Pushed up from years of brutal force
Steep cliffs climb and cut the line
Where salt air pinches skin
Time said goodbye and left us standing
Stock still
And restless
Watching the seasons change
Watching, and waiting
I walk a path down to the sea
Past thrift and iris bright
On a chimney stack a tiny bird with a big voice
O’ what a voice
Where salt air pinches skin

Dancing, floating on the wind
Off the cliff and to the air
Half a million strong
The sounds and smells throng
Each in their own defined layer
Captured in a moment
Bright white against the dark
Suspended in the squall,
From the sky they fall
As an arrow fired, straight and right on mark
They’re shifting and changing - with the tide
They’re shifting and changing - with the time
Climbing, scaling stacks and stone
Life line for a lonely isle
Feathers, flesh and oil
Results of daily toils
To help keep a body sustained
Shifting, soaring on the wing
Mismatch in a sea of change
The sliver fish peaks
Out of sync with begging beaks
And the journey goes on and on
They’re shifting and changing - with the tide
They’re shifting and changing - with the time
