Marlow Dale - Fjordside Soul

Fjordside Soul by Marlow Dale. LYRICS: My fjordside homestead sits on the shore The old timber walls keep winter at bay Smoke from the chimney rise through the mist In this dear old valley I love to exist There's one little road and a few dozen homes A weather-worn dock where no trawler moors You can walk through the village and not hear a thing Past the old church where no bell rings Keep me by the fjordside Keep me by the fjordside Keep me where the cold winds sing Keep me by the fjordside Where my soul keeps tingling Come deepest winter, the road disappears The sun leaves for weeks, only candles shine But our pantries are full and we've got books to read And oh how the stars shine so bright Young Rita's got five unbehaved children, with who nobody knows Richard's wife has gotten used to living with crows In every house there's someone stranger still Even old hermit Bill up on the hill Keep us by the fjordside Keep us by the fjordside Keep us where the cold winds sing Keep us by the fjordside Where our souls keep tingling When Aurora dance in the dark winter sky I step out alone just to catch her pass by No company needed, no need for a sound Just the Earth and water and the silence I've found I've stood in streets that are lively all night Where a man couldn't find a dark sky if he tried Seen wide open country, skyscrapers, and more But wherever I travel, wherever I stray, the mountains and fjord keeps calling my name Keep me by the fjordside Keep me by the fjordside Keep me where the cold winds sing Keep me by the fjordside Where my soul keeps tingling Bury me by the fjordside Bury me where the cold winds sing Bury me by the fjordside Where my soul keeps tingling
