In which hour, will we find peace
Which days will end, the sweet relief?
Could you or I, resist the flames
Or shrivel—die—in course, in vain?
Who shall find us, O brilliant one?
Of fire—heat! of glow of sun
Let us alone confide
The similarities of god and time
Leave me in evantide
To witness the marriage of land and sea
Tell us what we can do
To staunch the coming dawn anew
Keep me far away from you
Let me sink so I can be free
Off the deck and into day
One second too soon, three too late
Fall down, O let fall on me
The marriage of land and sea
In this hour, will we find peace
Our days will end, in sweet relief
Could you or I, walk over tides
Or calm the storm of those who died?
You will find us, O brilliant one
Sitting at your table
At the shore
Waiting for our ship to come
