A Fine Frenzy - The Sighting lyrics

It was a dark and clouded night Where neither star nor moon would shine Yet standing in a pool of light Like Saturn with its rings A lonesome figure gleamed So tall and wild and evergreen With roots that reached out for the sea Like dancers in the wind Oh, hi Love So far from From me Those salt cliffs can’t be scaled The evidence of those who failed Their skeletons lay strange and frail Like lace among the rocks So content to sit and wait So dedicated to your fate To never move, to never chase You just stand up there and watch Oh, hi Love So high up Will you always be Out of reach? Oh, hi Love Oh, why Love? I wish that you would Jump But I can see Your ties run deep And it’s not for me To cut you free
