Living By The Water

Anne Briggs

[Chorus]
I was living by the water
Late July moon's early quarter
Summer morning, early dawning
Pay no heed to me, gave no warning
Of their endless way
I was living by the water
Late July moon's early quarter
Summer morning, early dawning
Pay no heed to me, gave no warning
Of their endless way

[Verse 1]
Sea tide flowing in the river
Is all the music I would ever
Have the long, long, long day
Since I went away

[Chorus]
On a mountain there my song I'll sing
When the wind plays in the raven's wing
And I saw moorland horses
Dancing over the plains of the deadland marshes
Down to the sea

[Verse 2]
Voices from the empty moor
They call me past the stranger's door
Because I keep no company
And make no enemy

[Outro]
On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way
On the lonely sands of the western strands
It was there I made my way
