When you are leaving the harbor
|
Do you cry out to the shore?
|
Do you bless the wave of the ocean
|
Do you call your vessel home?
|
|
As you leave the safest harbor
|
Do you wonder where you'll go?
|
When you feel your bough is breaking
|
Do you call that harbor home?
|
|
When you sing the lullabye
|
Do you sing it for the song?
|
Or do you love the way it slides
|
Like velvet 'cross your tongue?
|
|
And as you sing the lullabye
|
Do you savor every line?
|
Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat
|
With your voice and your mind?
|
|
If you turn the light out in the hallway
|
Will your shadow lose its way?
|
Or do we share these shadows in the darkness
|
And they move from place to place?
|
|
We could share a shadow in the darkness
|
As shadows have no face
|
But should you sell our soul to the darkness
|
Can you face the light of day?
|
|
When you are leaving the harbor
|
Do you cry out to the shore
|
Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean?
|
Do you call your vessel home?
|
Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean?
|
Do you call your vessel home?
