Westport Headlands Lyrics

I'm done wasting your time
Chasing spiders round my cob web palace
Say you'll be mine
I'll wipe the dust from the silver chalice

Can't get used to sleeping alone
My mood grows dark when the days turn cloudy
And oh when the cold wind blows
I dream about your sweet salvation
Watching winter blow thru the westport headlands

I don't mind thinkin alone
I don't mind drinking alone
But oh when these shadows glow

Just can't get used to sleeping alone
Sure some friends stop by often without warning
But oh when the north wind blows
I dream about your sweet salvation
Your sweet salvation
Watching winter blow thru the westport headlands

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
