lyrics

We met by shore
On the last summer’s evening
There we fell in love
As the sky burnt down
I should have told her there and then
That I loved her
The girl from the seaside town

Back on Craigie Hill
Trees fell by the roadside
They’d warned of a storm
That ripped trees from the ground
Then on new year’s eve
She would come to see me
The girl from the seaside town

With frost under our feet
We both felt so much older
They’d boarded up the street
And the world was upside down
We spent the night
Searching for the summer splendour
The girl from the seaside town

She spoke of moving through
Working selling flowers
Back home the rent was due
And no jobs were to be found
I just got scared and said
“We’re only summer lovers”
The girl from the seaside town

Then a letter came
She was living round the corner
She never called it love
But they had settled down
From then on I’d often see her holding flowers
The girl from the seaside town

Then one day she’d gone
And no one seemed to know where
I went back to the shore
And there I wrote this vow
If I see her again
I will tell her that I love her
And promise I will never let her down
The girl from the seaside town
