Westhill's Rain Lyrics

To let go of the train ride

The pristine blue-green wild

Under Stonehaven's sun

No rays kissing your face

By the kitchen table's window

No more thinking you are the one

To never walk those streets again

Lined by quiet trees

Reveries of a lasting you and me

Warm hands and cold feet

Our green Wellies

On a riverbank in Banchory

No greener grass was waiting

On the other side

Just the same old pavement

Sweltering in July

No more breathing dreams

The leaves have fallen in vain

In Westhill's cold cold rain

But I loved you just the same

I loved you just the same

I love you just the same

I loved you just the same

Did the black swallow you whole,

Or have you finally shed your skin,

Filled yourself whole to the brim?

Have you softened your heart,

Undressed your lies, hardened your spine,

Or are you still sleepwalking?

You turned the hills into wastelands

Buried your head in hot sand

And asked me to please understand

You said I was no walk in the park

Never mind your landmines,

Where I tripped unarmed in your dark

No greener grass was waiting

On the other side

Just the same old pavement

Sweltering in July

No more breathing dreams

The leaves have fallen in vain

In Westhill's cold cold rain

But I loved you just the same

I loved you just the same

I love you just the same

I loved you just the same

No firecracker playing in the car

No orange sky in our smiling eyes

This could have been something worthwhile

But you don't know how to fight

And I can't reconcile

Worlds too far apart

No greener grass was waiting

On the other side

Just the same old pavement

Sweltering in July

No more breathing dreams

The leaves have fallen in vain

In Westhill's cold cold rain

But I loved you just the same

I loved you just the same

I love you just the same

I loved you just the same
