lyrics

Holy Island no longer ply
As usual along the coasts
The huge vessel now sails away
Firmly reaching for the open sea
Its stately prow stands proudly out
Against streaming walls of cotton wool
Wrapping up the whole vessel
In the silent torpor of a mysterious trip

When the fog lands on Northern coast
It sometimes gives a sound of silence
So heavy that even the stubborn waves
Hush for a while their dogged roar
And when the tamed waters gently lap
Against the feet of a misty wall
The time has come for Lindisfarne
To weigh its anchor and slip away.

The great journey though never last
For when the weather will be cleared
A mooring road thrown over the sea
Will link the ship to the dry land
But the “Old Salts” make no mistake
Indeed the barge has somewhat changed
Bumps and dunes sanded down
By the howling winds from the open sea
One day the island won’t come back
And Lindisfarne will touch the pole.
