[00:02.78] The hours
[00:14.10] I can see
[00:16.57] Sailors and wives
[00:18.24] Wait out the skies
[00:20.89] And under the kneeling sun
[00:24.72] Days are done
[00:27.09] I can see
[00:29.43] Their sailed unfold
[00:31.24] Worn, on hold
[00:34.21] As they wait for spring
[00:37.47] And the seas it will bring
[00:40.44] I could have sailed on the hour
[00:43.83] On the winds of the day
[00:47.06] With salt taste from the showers
[00:50.83] Throughout every bay
[00:53.85] I waited for fall
[00:57.19] For days on end
[01:00.58] The hours they all
[01:03.55] Were so easily spent
[01:05.96]
[01:06.40] I can see
[01:08.92] Sailors and wives
[01:10.58] Imagining the eyes
[01:13.59] Of the storms stillborn
[01:17.29] Held by their horns
[01:19.55] I can see
[01:22.01] Summers turn cold
[01:23.80] In the breath of the old
[01:26.38] As they counts ships at sea
[01:29.58] And ways to be free
[01:32.59] I could have sailed on the hour
[01:35.96] On the winds of the day
[01:39.54] The sound of bell towers
[01:43.23] Gently fading away
[01:46.12] I waited for fall
[01:49.19] With days to spend
[01:52.58] The hours they all
[01:55.78] So easily end
