As this body waits ragged and restless
And all wonder leads back to the sea
Though we're bound by the trials among us
That mistress, she beckons for me
Though shores did arrive in the distance
Swells now shift in time for the ride
The road looks clear, though just for an instant
As footprints wash out with the tide
Through clouds and her golden eyes starin'
A voice full of songs that I've heard
At ease with the sunrise she's wearing
We set off without saying words
And the rain hits seas and skies get to rollin'
Aching hearts lost in their wail
As the storm sits with the air that it's throwing
We gater ourselves to set sail
Once on that far-off horizon
At home in some distant land
The smells of the breeze, the shells of the seas
And the ocean and I hand in hand
Some days are longer than others
I travel but ask myself why
But a kiss on my skin from some distant wind
Stays through the longest of nights
Maybe I dreamt through a journey
As slept away all of my days
But one morning I woke, to the dawn and the smoke
To meet her, the witch of the waves
But one morning I woke, to the dawn and the smoke
To meet her, the witch of the waves
