Boats and Trains - Stornoway

Waiting for a train

Going nowhere in a nowhere station

Staying up last night

Going nowhere with my trains of thought

Sleeping with your boy

Going nowhere in a long distance relation

Blinded of your senses

By the fear of unrequited love

Once more I woke up in the moonlight

Once more our paths crossed through the night

And a moment’s hesitation

Your silent invocation

But you shielded me from your glow

Like a moth against your window

And I’m too shy to stop you in your tracks

Oh you leave me in the dark

Drifting in my boat

Going nowhere with my aspirations

You and me connected

Unexpected in our drifting thoughts

But you still see him

And I am sinking in the storm of separation

Blinded of my senses

By the fear of unrequited love

Once more I woke up in the moonlight

And twice more our paths crossed through the night

And a moment’s hesitation

Your silent invocation

But you shielded me from your glow

Like a moth against your window

And I’m too shy to stop you in your tracks

Oh you leave me in the dark again

And I need someone

To stop me from drifting

It’s getting late to be travelling

Destined to go nowhere

By the fear of unrequited love
