about

A song written by Jane Stockdale about the story of a lady who lived at Shingle Street, a little coastal village on the Norfolk coast.

lyrics

Katie lived beside the sea
Planted plum and apple trees
Watched the waves on the shore each day
Prayed for calm, send the storms away
Katie, Katie

Waiting for the catch to come
From the deep when the days were long
Walked for miles on the shingle strand
Collected treasures in her hands
Katie, Katie

They planted bombs on the beach
Then the sea was out of reach
Sent the fisherfolk away
Katie knew she'd be back some day
Katie, Katie

Where the garden grows
Where the tide it flows
Where the fishes leap
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love

Wrote letters troubled on the train
For to come back again
Open up the salt street door
Feel the wind and the waves once more
Katie, Katie

Home was at Shingle Street
Where wind and waves come to meet
Watching tide and sky each hour
Watch the garden grow and flower
Katie, Katie

Where the garden grows
Where the tide it flows
Where the fishes leap
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
And the rhythm is love
