Lyrics Steve Hackett

Steve Hackett

Loch Lomond

Palms hanging over the sparkling water

Champagne on ice a coconut surprise

Laughter from the rails as yachts set sail

With waves crashing over the shores of Loch Lomond

Crocodile tears under chandelier

Cicadas chatter above the veranda

Birds of Paradise smiles and alibis

Heard by no-one on the shores of Loch Lomond

A merry dance a sarabande in castles made of sand

When your world is washed away in the cold light of day

Christmas suntan a winter summerland

Rhythm of the shingle face tingle

Love songs on the surf should I believe the words

Since when were you on the shores of Loch Lomond

Illusion and facade a crying heavy heart

Within the mists that rise from waters of cold ice

Loch Lomond

A humming bird in snow when darkness is aglow

The pain that cracks the shell the breaking of a spell

Loch Lomond
