Oh your brown eyes shine a sure light on the way to go
And the Sun tries you, reeling home against your glow
And we lost sight of it, breath tied up in summer’s hold
And your eyes screamed it
Burgh Island, in sepia tones

And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known

Oh your brown eyes shine a sure light on the way to go
And the Sun chides you
So long
And we lost sight of it, breath tied up in summer’s hold
And the world break for it
Burgh Island, in sepia tones

And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known

Oh I bite my tongue
That you may be the first to ruin
‘Cause I heard it sung
That man is a fickle child
The wind blew in

Oh I bite my tongue
That you may be the first to ruin
‘Cause I heard it sung
That man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
