Description
This song is based on the myth of Ceyx and Alcyon. Ceyx left for sea even though his wife Alcyon begged him not to go. His ship was consumed by a giant wave in a storm. Upon the shore, Ceyx returns to Alcyon as a ghost, and she beneath the harvest moon becomes a ghost to join him.
Lyrics
So my love, well, I must leave But I will be back soon We shall hold each other again With the return of three new moons When the days grow long And the night gets cold Do you think about me? Could it save your soul? Darling here I am You know you’ve got to be brave There’s a place for us Somewhere beyond the grave See our ship’s hit by a storm Seen waves about a mile high It seems that we’ve been swallowed by the sea Never again to see the sky When the days grow long And the night gets cold Do you think about me? Could it save your soul? Darling here I am You know you’ve got to be brave There’s a place for us Somewhere beyond the grave Been searching for so long Been dying to see you I’m running in circles Been running to meet you See your ghost fly through the air ‘Neath the winter stars so bright When the moon is full and takes an orange glow That’s where our souls ignite When the days grow long...
