And few can decipher who the message is from
And it deliver it quietly

Cause some don't get much company

The harbour becomes the sea

And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
And don't let it hurt you

Or it will be the first to

Wind-battered, knocked over
The teeth by the shoulder

Watching the grey sky

It's a dangerous size

The mountain the mountain
Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides

Came to recognize
It's steep and rocky sides
More than realized
