The Cape - Martha Tilston

The cape, the coastal path, the waves crashing

Under our feet subsawning shaking cliff

We climb over the rocks and scrape our skin

Didn’t I say I’d love you 'til the caves fall in

Didn’t I say I’d love you 'til the caves fall in

Well I love you still and life is long

I love you still and life is long

I love you still and life is long

I love you still and life is long

Its late the sea is turning kind of indigo

And all of the tourists climb back up the hill so cold

They take with them their windbreaks

And bright stripes and plastic and sawnies

Now there is only you and I and the pagan sea.

You know this is the first place

I felt my soul get free

We were so young then and now… the sea is so ready

Well I love you still and life is long

I love you still and life is long

I love you still and life is long

Look, I love you still and life is long

I’m moving through there’s something wrong

Away from you I don’t belong
