lyrics

NEWHAVEN HARBOUR

Beyond the hulls of little boats
That sit like corpses on the banks
And flaking signs
In this carpark here we sit
In this carpark where we’ve sat
So many times
And through your tears
I hear you say
‘I have to go
Before it’s too late...’

And I, I remember seagulls
Turned and cried above the harbour
And how your fingers clenched and trembled
And how I loved you even more
But just a small love
A brief adventure, nothing more
So if they ask Newhaven Harbour
Say we were never here at all

Cranes lean together on the docks
Like lovers lighting cigarettes
Like you and I
You say you’re going back to him
You say you have to try again
And though I smile
Yet still I know
You’ll live in me
Like spots of blood
Left on white sheets...

And I, I remember nothing
But your cheek stained by the sunlight
Spilt by careless clouds across you
And how I died a little then
But just a small death
And I’ve died so many times before
So if they ask Newhaven Harbour
Say we were never here at all

Just pretend Newhaven Harbour
We never fell in love at all
