Gavin Clark - Never Seen the Sea lyrics

An iron sun sinks Leaving this bay Behind bridges of silence Below saints A creature of dry land A gale around me The son of a searcher He's never seen the sea Nurseling beauty How far can you crawl God knows I love you You are an original I came without reason So bitter, so free You were born by the river But you've never seen the sea I stood at your tombstone I felt alive A vision between us A sun in the sky I weighed up your madness In scales of degree You lived your whole life But you never saw the sea You never saw the sea
