[ti:Hug The Harbour ]
[ar:Emma Pollock]
[al:]
[00:00.23] We should have hugged the harbour
[00:02.72] Avoiding all disaster
[00:04.66] Horizon gone from view
[00:06.69] The lights were friends to you
[00:08.37] And all the people who are dear to you
[00:12.86] Are sitting right behind and trusting you
[00:16.38] My trust lies in your precision
[00:20.40] Let us leave this indecision
[00:31.83] You should have hugged the harbour
[00:34.79] Avoiding all disaster
[00:36.71] Horizon gone from view
[00:38.83] The lights were friends to you
[00:40.90] A fundamental lack of understanding
[00:44.76] Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
[00:48.74] You do not know your up from down you see
[00:52.69] Your inner ear a liability
[00:56.23] And all the people who are dear to you
[01:00.51] Are sitting right behind and trusting you
[01:04.23] My trust lies in your precision
[01:08.42] Let us leave this indecision
[01:18.75] So with this point of view
[01:22.24] I pick a bone with you
[01:24.25] I take a firm hand
[01:26.39] A pointless reprimand
[01:28.42] A fundamental lack of understanding
[01:32.71] Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
[01:36.37] When the darkness met you
[01:38.47] Your usual knowing left you
[01:40.31] You're just not qualified
[01:42.39] To choose the night to fly
[01:44.49] You do not know your up from down you see
[01:48.52] Your inner ear a liability
[01:53.85] I met a man and he said this to me "It's only with the heart that we can see"
[02:16.26] But I confess
[02:17.99] I have to disagree
[02:20.38] I'll put my faith in physicality
[02:24.06] If you wish to still romanticize
[02:28.04] I give my word
[02:29.59] I will not criticize
[02:32.09] But I will draw the line when in the skies
[02:36.06] Let's leave the indecision
[02:38.45] The tired cynicism
[02:40.19] My trust is in precision
[02:42.32] When off the ground
[02:51.73] Oh, will you hug the harbour?
[03:02.15] Don't make it any harder
[03:04.03] A case of mind and matter
[03:06.07] Just leave the heart to barter
[03:07.97] A fundamental lack of understanding
[03:12.25] Will quickly lead you to a fatal landing
[03:16.26] There is knowing why you thought you could
[03:20.84] Contend in such an eagle altitude
[03:24.64] With such a violent force you came to rest
[03:28.62] A fatal failure to a final test
[03:32.51] My trust lies in your precision
