I came to the sea older than I was before
Looking for a love that may not come again
I came through the clouds on a pair of melting wings Much too late, tired out and falling
There was no moon at all in the sky tonight Sometimes the moon has no strength to shine her light She falls into the sea and lays her secrets there
But only for a while, she's just stalling
So I call to the sea and I say Here I am! Hour after hour, loud as I can
I say tell me, tell me, tell me old friend Where to?
What next? What now?
Take me to the sea of things that are no more Wake me tenderly from all my dreams
Sing me lullabies from the ocean floor
Far away, far below and falling
