Peninsula Song
Laurie Shaw
I can't be landlocked
For I’m a peninsula
I let it lap my heels, yeah, yeah
I let it wash over me
I've gone so long out here alone
I'm an only child of a county
I’m the saturated mirth
Of the time gone by
When the beaches shook
With swirling thunderstorms
We went down to the peninsula
Yeah, me and the boys
Yeah, we left our love down there
In the sea glass, in the howling gale
And the shattering windows
I know peninsulas
I know what they can do to your soul
I let the ocean eat me whole
I might find myself in the belly of a whale
Trying to get out
I can't get any signal in here
