wine dark grave
I come to the day
And I wake to your voice calling
Calling me across the sea
You in a land where the sun falls like hammers
Beating the fight from your soul
I beg you come now
Come down to the water’s edge
Feel how the waves caress you
I cast myself into the sea
And I wait for you.
The tempest came
And took me down into the watery depths
My wine dark grave
The tempest came
It bent me and broke me beneath its waves
My wine dark sea grave
I heard your voice calling me to the water’s edge Tempting me from dust so
easily
Teasing me
I discarded my earthly bonds and followed your voice to the sea
I stand in the gentle surf
Feel the cool promise
On the horizon I hope to see you
Make your way back to me
Make your way into my arms
The tempest came
And took me down into the watery depths
My wine dark grave
The tempest came
It bent me and broke me beneath its waves
My wine dark sea grave
The tide takes me under its cold, cold embrace
As I sink into this darkening place
Where I saw your face vanish beneath the waves
Like a pale moon sinking at dawn
Here I rest now in this place deep below
Where I can still see the stars
And they still shine bright through the waters above
The tempest came
And took me down into the watery depths
My wine dark grave
The tempest came
It bent me and broke me beneath its waves
My wine dark sea grave
