Paper Bird - Witch Of The Waves lyrics

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
