Ballydowse - Masefield Drowned lyrics

(Chorus) There is land and there is sea you're the spot just between Where the walls grow the thinnest to the hidden majesty There is joy and there is grief, where they lap there is just belief And I know that the sweetest glimpse of faith is in your eyes Between night and day when the whites they are grays And the green world wears a pale blue mask upon its face I step through I fall in a long lost home I've never been I cannot stay forever but I'll never leave again One road leads to London one road runs to Wales My road leads me seawards to the white dipping sails Leads me, lures me, calls me to salt green tossing sea A road without earth's road dust is the right road for me But one voice holds me steady, one voice holds me here It's the voice of my only love calling me near A wet road heaving, shining, and wild with seagulls' cries A mad salt sea-wind blowing salt spray in my eyes But I can let it wait, I can leave it all behind For standing still with you is a journey of a kind Like a jaunt upon an ocean of holy memories Sails full and constant with a sweet stinging breeze I may go down to the seas again, for th ecall of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that's hardest to deny I may go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy's life To the gull's way and the whale's way Where the wind's like a whetted knife But I'll not go alone my love from this day on I swear Whatever current lays below, you and I will share
