[Verse 1]
I met you by the pier
With a skiffle in your grin
You said you knew a shortcut
To the moon behind the gin
You wore your boots in summer
And a cardigan with pride
Then you borrowed my umbrella
For a dance along the tide
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you talk so fast
Like a card trick gone wrong
I should say goodnight
But your laugh drags me along
[Chorus]
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’ve gone and made a scene
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’re my favorite trouble beam
(Oh, ah-ha)
(Oh, ah-ha)
[Verse 2]
You stole a fisherman’s sausage
And a spoon from Mrs. Dee
Then you crowned a bag of nettles
“Royal dinner for the sea”
At the pub you told the landlord
You were heir to an old gold chair
He just winked and slid you crisps
Like he’d seen worse over there
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you talk so fast
Like a card trick gone wrong
I should say goodnight
But your laugh drags me along
[Chorus]
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’ve gone and made a scene
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’re my favorite trouble beam
(Oh, ah-ha)
(Oh, ah-ha)
[Bridge]
Now the moon sits on the water
Like a coin in a bent tin plate
You’re marching with the seagulls
And I’m running five minutes late
If you’re lost, just follow laughter
If you’re found, well, that’s a start
I came here for a quiet evening
You came here for my heart
[Final Chorus]
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’ve gone and made a scene
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
You’re my favorite trouble beam
Crabapple Harbour, ah-ha
I’m laughing till I’m green
(Oh, ah-ha)
(Oh, ah-ha)
