Lullaby At Low Tide
the way you clung to me like the sea
with a tide crawling angry to breathe
and retract with a precious stone
i had to fortify to keep at home
with castings and clay
in hopes it wouldn’t wash away
oh how i shouted to you
“precious you hadn’t a need to rule
you made a king but left a fool”
in hopes you’d come swaying back
turned the moon and put the tide aback
my dear you hear my plea
i’ve always meant everything
lullabies are goodbyes
with commitment to the night
so please take me back to the place
where we were face to face
chest to chest
we have all the time to rest
she said “i hear you boy but mark my words
we are none of this and afterwards
carry forth and carry on
let only the ocean sing our song
we had our time and burnt the clock
broke our walls and left the dock
but see my peace lies across lands
and my heart in separate hands
my dear you hear my plea
i’ve always meant everything
lullabies are goodbyes
with commitment to the night
so please take me back to the place
where we were face to face
chest to chest
we have all the time to rest
so am i really to blame?
or was it you?
was it shame?
i will carry on my separate way
lullabies are goodbyes
with commitment to the night
so please take me back to the place
where we were face to face
chest to chest
we have all the time to rest
so sing me to sleep
your harmony in anything
sing to me.
