Verse I = Part A + Part B x2

brown eyes shining short light on the way to go,
And the sun tries you're reeling home, against your glow
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in someone's hold,
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones.

I bite my tongue
that you may be the first to ruin
Cause I heard its song
the man is a fickkled child that the wind blew in
