Tim Moore - The Night We First Sailed Away lyrics

In the stars was the song of the hunter And your voice spoke like wind in the caves We lay down in our darkness remembering Like the night when we first sailed away We were miles in the sky that we covered We were thoughts like the grain of the wood Being arteries grown from the mother Oh, our loving was meant to be good And though they say that the ape won't evolve to a state of grace We will laugh in his face And this cage that revolves may dissolve in a rage of tears Still our purpose is clear Oh, the bells on the sea cliffs are ringing And like ghosts we will rise from our clay On the ocean I still hear the singing Like the night when we first sailed away And though it's said that we've lost or exhausted our earthly food Oh, our love is not moved Be it angels or devils that spin in the final tale You and I haven't failed You are Eve, you are Eve in the garden In your kiss is the birth of my day I won't believe that it's not as we gave it In the night when we first sailed away I won't believe that it's not as we gave it In the night when we first sailed away
