lyrics

Up and gone
Lost in the grip of another one
Locked in tides
Adrift on the flow of your insides
And how does it feel
Unable to know if you’re real

Wait and see
Try to be
Keeping with me

Start to divide
Space we relate to the other side
Question to be
With fading resentment we hope to see
And yet we’re alone now
It beggars belief where I go now
And I’ll find out
If rain throws the shadows of my doubt

Wait and see
Try to be
Keeping with me

Here looking off to the shores where I parted
The blackness of sand, burning coals and their songs from
Insensitive spirits bleached yellow and gold at
Their fingers, so fickle and worn from the hold of
You’re locked in an oak-riddled, seafaring customer
Selling a soul for a badge and a colour
The man is an anchor, unyielding and steady
His teeth take the blame when his heart is too heavy

And I…

Wait and see
Try to be
Keeping with me

Wait and see
Try to be
Keeping with me
