lyrics

The moon is pulling the waves out
On the shore, faces alight once more
We watch the prism efface us
Eye to the crystalline, colorful cut of light

In the mirror sight, in the echo soul
Who do we think we’ll be
When we wash up clean, when we go inside
At eventide

The sun is burning the morning
Clouds astray, over the roiling swell
The rollers turn over backwards
Into immensity, into the swirling sea

At the faintest breeze, at the lightest touch
Where do we think we’ll go
When we set our keel to the brightest star
A journey far

(Wade in among the reeds)
Where do we think we’ll be
(How does it feel to be)
Out of the ordered time in flow
(Where does the water flow)
Into the rushing waves below
(Into the undertow)

If only water could save us
In the deep, Into a breathless room
We find it hard to replace us
Days drown into a dream
Isn’t it what we feel

When we lose the light, when we lose our sight
Who do we reach out to
When we set our keel to oblivion
A fading sun

(Wade in among the reeds)
Where do we think we’ll be
(How does it feel to be)
Out of the ordered time in flow
(Where does the water flow)
Into the rushing waves below
(Into the undertow)

(Find it along the bay)
Wending into our way
(Light of the words we say)
Out of the water time will know
(How does the water know)
Into the eventide in tow
(Into the undertow)
