Emily Barker And The Red Clay Halo - Witch Of Pittenweem lyrics

Every morning I'd go With the dawn to the harbor Where the gulls fought for guts Where the boats bayed and echoed Where the waves wept and stormed Like my heart that was stolen When a curse as cold as the sea Pointed its finger straight at me Cruel Lord She has stalked me in dream You abandoned me The Witch of Pittenweem Left me to hang between The shore and the sea And the waves did rear And the bay did burst When they swallowed your lies When they heard my cry Left me to roll between The earth and the sky In the dungeon deep In the company of thieves I was pulled, I was pushed 'Til my blood danced in mirrors 'Til my life almost left 'Til my words did confess To a crime I'd never commit In the cold month of January Cruel Lord She has stalked me in dream You abandoned me The Witch of Pittenweem Left me to hang between The shore and the sea And the waves did rear And the bay did burst When they swallowed your lies When they heard my cry Left me to roll between The earth and the sky I escaped in the dark On the mercy of a guard To the house of a friend Oh, but betrayal let 'em in I was dragged through frozen streets With a rope 'round my heels Then tied to the mast And the stones I could feel 'Til they cut me down Buried me under a door And the red waves Lapped the shore Cruel Lord She has stalked me in dream You abandoned me The Witch of Pittenweem Left me to hang between The shore and the sea And the waves did rear And the bay did burst When they swallowed your lies When they heard my cry Left me to roll between The earth and the sky Every morning I'd go With the dawn to the harbor Where the gulls fought for guts Where the boats bayed and echoed
