To Find 06:00
What was lost, never found Hide away I would call One night of solace feeds you whole One night of peace a silenced soul Time is false, but I count and I hope to find The soundless fate I have already sung, I wade… In the sea, endlessly I resign to wind the “Why”s and weave them til they’ve formed A sacred sieve to sift and hold Time is false, but I count and I hope to find The weightless fate I have already weighed, I wait You have always wandered to wallow In the brackish brine of yesterday’s sorrow All those years of fear, the hardened heart hollowed Can fill again or tumble in
2.
Years fall and all we have left are these hands Sifting sand, the salted poison of our land And our will has grown strong, but the path to loam’s a road forlorn Water drowns when light is gone and night is all we’ve ever known A passing rise above a groundless plane Before the shrine built to hope in vain We’ve always known that Nothing soon would gain Its calloused way, we let it go too long Skies roar and all we have left is the sand Pouring now as blood let from sallow hands So it seems the echoes drown the notion that we’ve always shown A faultless stride of weighted stone, but waves are all we’ve ever known But the tides still draw my eyes, set as blinds that try to hide The current pushing, pulling Torn amongst the dead and dying world And this is all we’ve known Our hearts turned cold so we can numb our souls But we still feel the lies we’re told
3.
So time is our foe and lover Inside the heart divides And try as you may discover Holding on - the walls collide And the light slowly fades just to keep on burning When the light has finally waned your voice carries on My eyes hold yours and ceaseless wonder Your might I carry on Joanne, I can see your face All those years ago don't feel so far away And in the distance grown my thoughts go on unchanged You were the one to show my heart and soul the way And while you may be gone, your voice remains the same
