One night I sailed my boat alone
Across the dark blue sea
The moon was cold with a silver shine
And woke a fear in me
A mighty wave of velvet black
Rose before my eyes
And as my boat was swallowed whole
It silenced all my cries
By the flaming light of dawn
On an island born of stone
I woke trembling on the shore
And I was all alone
My wails were drowned in the void
No sounds were meant to be
Then something moved in the waters depth
A wave that came for me
A wave of blue, a wave of white
Was towering over the shore
And on the island was nowhere to hide
And I would run no more
And so I stood and faced the wave
Waiting for it to come
Between the past and future time
I thought my life was done
The wave then shattered into mist
Like a veil suddenly torn
A whisper of warmth to a tired heart
And a different tune was born
