Biography:
Sam Airey is a musician who originates from the Isle of Anglesey, now residing in the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. He writes songs, and quite often these songs are about the seaside and/or death, but never exclusively these things.
Raised in rural North Wales on various types of folk and country music, Sam blends these influences with the sounds and experiences he has encountered along the way. He plays a variety of instruments, but is sometimes joined by friends, both in studios and on stages.

All chords relative to capo
[Intro]
Am F C E
[Verse 1]
Am
Back then it almost felt,
F
Heaven sent
C
With slow dancing models
E
In a child's ornament
Am F
Kept spinning our heads full of stars
C
Don't know what we had
E
But we knew it was ours
Am F
With one hand on the small of her back
C E
The other in hers, as we moved to the track
Am F
That was playing in our heads all along
C E
The symphony silent, a beautiful song
F C
We were lovers, we were doomed from the start
E Am
It was all broken clockwork, the dancers both fall apart
F E Am
Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up
F C E Am F C E
[Verse 2]
Am F
The girl sits alone with her art
C
Seems her words are the only way
E
To mend her broken heart
Am F
Like her life is the fiction not found
C E
Her real image in writing is staring straight back
Am F
Her protagonist has broken hope
C E
The typewriter pause, then the words come out slowly
Am F
Like teardrops, fall on the page
C E
In an instant her soul, released from its cage
She wrote
F
You were laying there dying,
C
Like the end of a western
E Am
Saying tell me what Europe is like
F E Am
I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right
F C E Am F C E
[Verse 3]
Am F
At the coast, every star seems so near
C E
But you wouldn't know each, had been gone all those years
Am F
And the ocean rose on like a dream
C E
And into the distance, forever it seems
Am
