I heard your words to mess with fate tonight

I kept its time cause I'm not here to please myself


I kept my soil clean of tandem runs and armored verbs


Who escape your sight while you sleep



Prospects of images to foil rounds of memories

I've kept my mind made up your absence faints away


All these damaged pleas amidst the stringent beauty fly


Who all want to run away while you sleep



And I would whisper

And aren't I getting a little old for this


Abandon my structure to the storm


And aren't we getting a little used to this

This holding tight and standing firm



The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight


Surely we'll meet when all enfolds


A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep

Holding confinements on the edge of space


By bonfires we sat about


More or less postponing our place

In the structure of grace I stood





And I would whisper to you

Would you keep me close at bay


Slowly reaching the light of day


Im always leaving but

I can hold you where I stand



How striking it is to recall that voice


I used to speak in parables to size you up


Your little big world how does it respond

How does it relate to me


Of a truth this is insanity


I knew id lose my mind

But duty calls the human heart back to the dust



The songs of ancient ships still always call my name


Sojourner escape my sight while I sleep


The shutter's lies destroy your face


I know I'm leaving



Would you keep me close at bay

Slowly reaching the light of day


Im always leaving but

I can hold you where I stand



I whisper I know I am leaving

but vapours never seemed more important

and I know time is wasted


on too many actions

that in the end don't justify any means at all



I hear the voice of one crying out tonight

Prepare ye the way of the Lord


The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight


Surely we'll meet when all enfolds

A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep

Holding confinements on the edge of space

You said You placed eternity in our hearts


and I know it's there

I knew it all along
