lyrics

The ice and salt of the Northern waters
Settling within the bottom of my lungs
The streams that assailed me as I swam against them
With a wish to be pulled to the bed of the tides

With the passage of time, my eyes have adjusted
To the encroaching shroud, my lack of a purpose
My memories of you, of being someone else
Sealed in amber, fantasies of a child

The night is damp, thick in the deadened shades of black
I stand beneath the trees
Watching the moonlight shimmering through their leaves
Casting their shadows over me, across the clearing
To obscure me from view, drinking the hot summer air
The winds washing over me

Have all my years
Simply disappeared
Like nothing's changed
This old ache still remains

The desire is still in me
Cool and frail against my chest
I stood here unseen
And prayed to you

Unworthy am I
Undeserving am I
You were my deity
Porous was your beauty

Mirror down your sun
To light my face in this mire
My refuge in this darkness
I've paid for in my nightmares

Nothing carnal or cerebral
Only you and only I, for a moment
For a moment, I could feel you
A fleeting time in which to
Worship, knowing this elation cannot be
Permanent, so unguarded and pure
And I know, this moment will never return

Your hand against my cheek
There are no secrets here
I find the embrace of the earth
And all that I know is love
