lyrics

Stay with me this night
Your talking keeps me warm against the fright
Waves are crashing hard upon the shore
The boats are bobbing ready to unmoor
Into nothing goes

The past is yet to come
Whether it be death or rising sun
It won’t be a light I see
Just a speck of dark upon the sea
Into nothing goes

That I may rise
My God what joy sweet waters in my hair
And I won’t think of them no more
No I won’t think of them sailing wide
Be-brave-nothing, waiting us, at the world’s end

Hold me close this night
Give me a reprieve from my fight
I am living long on bended knee
Calcified the joints the stagger be
Into nothing goes

Where are those eyes
From which the beauty tumbled forth like rain?
I don’t find the love no more
No I don’t find the love, it is wanting,
In the words, awaiting us, at the world’s end

That I may rise
My God what joy sweet waters in my hair
And I won’t think of them no more
No I won’t think of them sailing wide
Be-brave-nothing, awaiting us, at the world’s end
