Godsend - In the Bitter Waters lyrics

I walked ten crooked miles In nameless lands beyond the sea Got lost after a while In fruitless search of minds key Among the mountains I cried out The anguish of my mind An echo full of troubled doubt Came floating back in time All these days of speechless longing Senseless wait for who knows what Troubled years without belonging Rootless drift in aftermath A young girl red and out of sight Came walking 'cross the desert plane Her eyes so sad and dark as night Melody was her name Only whispers came from her mouth She felt to me like sorrows child Her journey headed way down south To hide in sleep a while Alone I stood with no direction Her presence nothing but memory She could not give me her affection Buried in grief and misery Through the nothing my spirit roamed Seeking the eternal silence All these thoughts like hollow bones Keep coming back I lose my patience Why must I see all this destruction When safety and happiness can be found Who spreads all this thought corruption To bring a young man to the ground
