Leviathan - Edwyn Collins

So I stood on the edge of my world

At a place where the sky meets the sea

But my haven was a cauldron of bile

For the sea was bewitched and defiled

There’s a passage leads down to the shore

There’s a step for each day of the year

They are ancient but they’ve stood the test of time

Those who venture need have little to fear

So I stood on the old harbor wall

As some black headed gulls reeled then stalled

It was winter and the gulls heads had turned white

Like so many spellbound ermine blessed with flight

Surveying their enchanted domain

Whilst the wind howled an ancient refrain

So I stood on the edge of my world

At a place where the sky meets the sea

But my haven was a cauldron of bile

For the sea was bewitched and defiled

And the sea was black and swollen

And the sky was red and molten

But the tide rose and fell

For the moon had broke the spell
