about

A song inspired by west coast nature. In particular the graceful flight of seagulls on a stormy sky as the sun sets below the horizon.

"This song was a late addition to the album although actually a song written a year or two ago, I had never been happy with the original chorus and therefore it lay unfinished until I found, what I think are the right words to express the feeling of awe at nature's wonders" Pernille

lyrics

Wings of Gold (Pernille R. Quigg)

Black silhouettes sailing on stormy skies
caught twixt the darkness and light,
an emerald ocean stretches wide
a sailor who drowns just out of sight.

Wings of gold,
as the sun strikes the last match
and goes down in flames
the clear sky brings the cold.

Swift flying arrows of tempered steel
the archer he stretches his bow,
a blustery kiss from the north west wind
the songbird sleeps so too the sparrow.

The crescent moon only hangs constant
like a hook on the drapery behind,
and still it moves as it guides your path
but always in the shade of borrowed light.
