Taken by the ocean and the wind Procession of broken pieces What's left now floating like a V of pelicans Captured by the slowly falling tide Scattered drift wood A doomed armada now crossing in search of the other side With the darkness eminent Everyone tries to find a way back home again Nothing but a frame of skin and bone She takes a deep breath to drown Or baptize this river with the tears she's never known A shadow of a wolf across the beach Silver and black a guardian Over the chasm that keeps us out of reach With the darkness eminent Everyone tries to find a way back home again Hidden in a single grain of sand A numinous charge of light A sudden unveiling with a chance to understand It doesn't matter now just what she wants The messages drift across horizons Half under like a flock of cormorants With the darkness eminent Everyone tries to find a way back home again Taken by the ocean and the wind Procession of broken pieces What's left now floating like a V of pelicans With the darkness eminent Everyone tries to find a way back home again. With the darkness eminent Everyone tries to find a way back home again.
