The little boy of Stornoway
Riddled down the visionary
his ways reek out the horror.
His eyes gleam back another day,
the day he has in store.
Sunk beneath a timeless sea
A vacant drought of pain.
This endless source of energy
drives behind the wind and rain.
On their way to Stornoway.
A piece of mind behind.
Too far back for memory,
little left for time.
