Portsall Lyrics - Flowing Tears

we laid on the back on a latesummernight 

when we ran out of words we could say 

like two stranded stars on a deepfrozen sky 

so gone but afraid not to stay 

we counted the stars any latesummernight 

and we watched their departure all day 

"tomorrow we'll join 'em" we dreamt many times 

but tomorrow was so far away 

and the moon, and the stars, 

and the summernight sky 

that dirty old barn, and the grey in our eyes 

the harbour, the sea, and the rivers of plight 

and still we're so far away...
