[Instrumental Intro - grand piano, rain on the window, wind] [Verse 1] Grey light falling on the northern sea, Calling softly from a hidden bay. Every footprint that the tide sets free Tells of someone who has gone away. [Chorus] Let the North Sea wind blow through me clean, Underneath a sky of grey and green. Far from trouble, far from pain, In this island mood I'm whole again. [Verse 2] Gulls are wheeling in the rain-swept grey, Wet sand darkening the shingle strand. Lost in whispers of a washed-out day, Finding magic in this quiet land. [Chorus - fuller, harmony vocals] Let the North Sea wind blow through me clean, Underneath a sky of grey and green. Far from trouble, far from pain, In this island mood I'm whole again. [Instrumental Break - restrained Strat solo, rain ambience] [Bridge - softer, organ pad only] And the daylight gives up far too soon, Painting grey on grey beneath the moon. In the stillness of an English night, Everything is cold and feels so right. [Outro - whispered, sparse] Just an island mood... In the quiet rain... [Fade Out - wind and rain, long]
