Lyrics

[00:00.90] Dar Williams - The Light And The Sea
[00:21.04] Setting out upon the waves in darkness and upheaval
[00:26.42]
[00:27.05] I was told that I alone would not know good and evil
[00:32.29]
[00:32.91] Oh but in time
[00:37.32]
[00:37.95] But oh in time
[00:42.97]
[00:43.72] It came to me
[00:45.03]
[00:47.09] That as my ship would fall and rise
[00:51.02]
[00:52.77] I could turn and lift my eyes
[00:57.14]
[00:58.38] To the light, a distant light
[01:03.56]
[01:04.69] And will there always be
[01:08.40]
[01:10.58] The light and the sea,
[01:15.02]
[01:16.01] The roiling sea, the light and me.
[01:21.13]
[01:22.57] And as the days went by I turned my wheel towards the thunder
[01:27.87]
[01:28.43] Taking on a challenge that I knew could take me under.
[01:33.51]
[01:34.13] Oh, and it took me down
[01:38.44]
[01:39.25] And oh it took me down
[01:44.33]
[01:44.96] And it came to me
[01:46.60]
[01:48.47] As I cursed the stem and sail
[01:52.48]
[01:54.29] And called it fate that I should fail
[01:58.47]
[01:59.78] There is a light
[02:01.67]
[02:02.60] There is a light
[02:04.80]
[02:06.12] And there will always be
[02:09.63]
[02:11.94] The light and the sea,
[02:16.31]
[02:17.37] The roiling sea, the light and me.
[02:22.86]
[02:29.35] And it all comes down
[02:34.34]
[02:35.09] Down to me
[02:36.15]
[02:38.23] To feel the presence of my soul
[02:42.29]
[02:44.11] Amidst the torrents and the cold
[02:48.42]
[02:49.60] Of the sea.
[02:51.73]
[02:55.86] And there will always be
[02:59.39]
[03:01.69] The light and the sea,
[03:05.78]
[03:07.22] The roiling sea, the light and me.
[03:12.41]
[03:27.44] The light and me.
[03:30.75]
