Lay out the bowline
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the ring
Will I be so brave?

We, beloved of the springtime
Our reliance to the light
All the night
Well, I always must remember
How we called our kisses bright
Will I make this right?

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go before I arrive

So lay out the bowline
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will roam and I will ramble
'Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen days

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go till I arrive

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
