lyrics

Dunnet Head

It ended up another all-nighter
Some are old friends, and some are strangers
Who sang and laughed and never got sober
I don't remember when it was over

Wind from the ocean blowing tough
A white light house, a top the cliff
In the north end where I stand
There are stories for us to understand

She asked me where would I go
The moment past calm and slow
I remembered the road to the place where we met
And I said "don't know yet, maybe Dunnet Head"

I found good friends there, a father and son
They give what they want and love everyone
They have two white hairy cats - a mama and a daughter
They don't like each other but they live together

She asked me where would I stay
I'll make it there again someday
I remembered the road to the place where we met
And I said "don't know yet, maybe Dunnet Head"

------------- Solo -------------

I woke up in the morning and I watched the horizon
I heard the voice from the ocean, it said there were no reasons
We laughed and sang all night long, no matter where we all came from
The memory stayed in my head forever and strong

She asked me where would I go
The moment past calm and slow
I remembered the road to the place where we met
And I said "don't know yet, maybe Dunnet Head"
