Title: Argentia After the Navy Left Verse 1 Where the harbour opens wide and cold, Argentia stands in steel and mould. Once a base with orders clear, Now only echoes linger here. Ships once lined the working pier, Boots and voices sharp and near. Flags that snapped in ocean wind, Marking where it all had been. Chorus Argentia, your time has passed, But your shadows still hold fast. Empty halls and broken stone, Still feel like they’re not alone. Argentia, salt and steel, A history you still reveal. Verse 2 Barracks rows with empty beds, Silent words unsaid, unsaid. Fuel tanks rust and fences fall, Wind moves freely through it all. The Navy left, the contracts closed, Another chapter overexposed. But concrete keeps its memory, Of what once was security. Chorus Argentia, your time has passed, But your shadows still hold fast. Empty halls and broken stone, Still feel like they’re not alone. Argentia, salt and steel, A history you still reveal. Bridge If you stand there in the grey, You might still hear yesterday. A phantom call, a distant bell, From when those buildings worked so well. Final Chorus Argentia, the wind runs through, The empty rooms still think of you. Though the uniforms are gone, The memory still marches on. Argentia, wide and free, A fading guard by the sea.
