Hug The Harbour
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We should have hugged the harbour
Avoiding all disaster
Horizon gone from view
The lights were friends to you
And all the people who are dear to you
Are sitting right behind and trusting you
My trust lies in your precision
Let us leave this indecision
You should have hugged the harbour
Avoiding all disaster
Horizon gone from view
The lights were friends to you
A fundamental lack of understanding
Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
You do not know your up from down you see
Your inner ear a liability
And all the people who are dear to you
Are sitting right behind and trusting you
My trust lies in your precision
Let us leave this indecision
So with this point of view
I pick a bone with you
I take a firm hand
A pointless reprimand
A fundamental lack of understanding
Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
When the darkness met you
Your usual knowing left you
You're just not qualified
To choose the night to fly
You do not know your up from down you see
Your inner ear a liability
I met a man and he said this to me
"It's only with the heart that we can see"
But I confess I have to disagree
I'll put my faith in physicality
If you wish to still romanticize
I give my word I will not criticize
But I will draw the line when in the skies
Let's leave the indecision
The tired cynicism
My trust is in precision
When off the ground
Oh, will you hug the harbour?
Don't make it any harder
A case of mind and matter
Just leave the heart to barter
A fundamental lack of understanding
Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
There is knowing why you thought you could
Contend in such an eagle altitude
With such a violent force you came to rest
A fatal failure to a final test
My trust lies in your precision
