Out of the night, into the water
|
We push the boat from shore
|
Breaking the air and the stillness of the bay
|
|
Intensity of stars reflected in the harbour
|
Silently ignite
|
The oar dips into oil like water
|
And we are away
|
|
Your hand won't write
|
Not tonight
|
But your mind may wander
|
Into those deep lagoons that you know
|
And your boat will go by starlight alone
|
Da da da da da da da da
|
You sang to the moon
|
In the great black night
|
With no lodestar in sight
|
|
Out of the night
|
Out of the water
|
We pull the boat back to shore
|
Breathe in the air and the stillness of the bay
|
Intensity of stars reflected in the water
|
Silently ignite
|
The oar dips into oil like water
|
And we are away
|
|
Under the moon in the great black night
|
With no lodestar in sight
|
|
And wait for it
|
There are only two things now
|
This great black night
|
And the fireglow
|
|
And listen! The darkness rings
|
The darkness....
|
|
Listen! The darkness rings
|
|
And wait for it
|
There are only two of us now
|
This great black night, scooped out
|
And this fireglow
|
|
Listen! The darkness rings
|
The darkness...
|
Listen! The darkness rings
|
Take off your things
|
|
And listen!
|
The darkness rings
|
