lyrics

Early one morning I was pulled outside,
By the smell of the new on the breeze.
No more waiting, I’ve seen all there is,
All but what I glimpsed cross the sea.

I saw a place we called home.
I saw a garden and a door.
I saw a love, and a window lit up.
And I’ve never felt quite so sure.

But the breakers hit hard on the shore
It’s a cold way to sink, float, to swim.
What a cruel thing to ask of a man,
To fall, eyes forward, straight in.

I saw a broken parade,
Of all the things we didn’t do.
Half a world shook in all of a heart
And the best half was you.

But there’s some sort of faith in the tides.
The sea change, the ebb and the flow.
If love is wide eyes with a hand on the oar,
Then the best way to see is to go.

I saw a place we called home.
I saw a child with your hair.
I saw a love, and a window lit up.
And the tide takes us there.
Only time takes us there.
All the time you were here.
