I watch you walk the beaches
I see your plaintive looks
over the breaking waves
over my wat’ry grave
When the longest night comes
When you’re at your darkest
I will call you home
You don’t have to be alone
We learned to read the current
As daughters of the sea
we feared the undertow
but I would lose control
You always loved my wild heart
I was the one who stood out from the other girls
You brought me shells and pearls
I felt the pull of the veil
It took my fear away
I want that for you
We’ll sail into the night
Beneath the pale moonlight
I’ll be with you when tide begins to turn again
In your eyes there was a spark
When I left you it went dark
Down here together you won’t ever need to burn again
There were always rumors
wicked glances cast across the village square
where we would kneel in prayer
I couldn't keep the secrets
I couldn't hide the lust in my heart anymore
in a trance I found the shore
The shock of the cold stole my breath
In a moment there was nothing and
I want that for you
I was the underfoot girl
Fearless in the riggings
I would leap from ship to ship
You were the boy on the bow
Watching for horizons
With a song on your lips
Then we got older
Desire took over
I'd crash into you like the waves
On the beach outside our cave
Where the promises we made were made forever
Promise broke in two
Summer turned to winter like I walked through a door
I will make it up to you
I'll pull you down and none of it will matter anymore

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities.
In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
