Lyrics

I left my love, by the mountainside and I, walked along-side the river in the shore I had found, they had turned the tides and the light ahead was growing dimmer and I heard you calling but I didn’t listen and I heard you falling but the mark doesn’t know what its missing and lord all the world is cave and I haven’t seen the light of day only shadows of the wind and waves and beds of needles amongst the hay and I left my pain on the windowsill to drip into the blue-bottles spread between your legs, spinning all that silk I’m twisted and I’m tangled still and I lead the powder across the entire range and I made a wish in the well but nothing had seemed to change and I drank the water of all the seven seas but there’s a song in the swell that calls you back to me
