I hear a sound, a sound above my head
Distant sound of thunder, moving out on the moor
Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I'll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the kingdom of rust
I long to feel some beauty in my heart
As I go searching, right to the start
The road back to Preston
Was covered all in snow
As I went looking for that stolen heart
For you, waiting for you
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
Takes an effort, it does
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
It's in the kingdom of rust
Oh, in the kingdom of rust
I long to feel that wince in my heart
As I went looking
I couldn't stop
Now I'm waiting for you
Oh, yes, it does
I know it takes an ocean of trust
In the kingdom of rust
Distant sound of thunder, moving out on the moor
Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I'll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the kingdom of rust
I long to feel some beauty in my heart
As I go searching, right to the start
The road back to Preston
Was covered all in snow
As I went looking for that stolen heart
For you, waiting for you
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
Takes an effort, it does
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
It's in the kingdom of rust
Oh, in the kingdom of rust
I long to feel that wince in my heart
As I went looking
I couldn't stop
Now I'm waiting for you
Oh, yes, it does
I know it takes an ocean of trust
In the kingdom of rust

The phrase "Kingdom of rust" could well refer to the decayed industry of the region. Could be an allegory to his relationship with his first love from the area and/or his family?
