Stornoway - Gondwanaland lyrics

When you're tired and you're far from home When you're lost and you're on your own When the fog comes a-swirling, swirling round you Mm, 'til you can't see the path before you You should know of the strangest things You come down like a silent snow 'Til your mind feels as numb as your fingers It was many years ago On the coast of Gondwan*land No-one hurt for the howling wind No-one hurt when they whispered the strangest thing No-one saw for the stinging rain No-one saw the strangest thing Saw you slip on the icy street And I smiled accidentally And you swore at the ice, and you swore at me And my heart melted instantly In the warmth of the strangest thing So I'm holding a torch up high for you And the batteries are all brand new But I'm scared they'll wear right through Before you see me shining for you Before I can discover who can show me The strangest thing No-one hurt for the howling wind No-one hurt when they whispered the strangest thing No-one saw for the stinging rain No-one saw the strangest thing
