cormorant - the emigrant's wake lyrics
mists once dressed these dunes
like silk upon her skin
but the ocean’s bare today
and the tide is coming in
i watch a castle on the beach
a tower crumbling away
mother nature always wins
the games we children play
rocks peek out from the foam
there seven seagulls stand
i slip the sandals off my feet
and drop them on the sand
as i walk dust clings and falls
to my dry and weary soles
the prints i leave upon the ground
like word’s upon a scroll
walk into the waves
as the footprints fade away
oceans leave no graves
all our legacies decay
the water’s cold at dusk
i thought as i stepped into the tide
the sea does not want me here
what could she have to hide?
our forebears looked to the horizon
but i called into the distance
and no deities would respond
walk into the waves
as the footprints fade away
oceans leave no graves
all our legacies decay
perhaps if i tread further
past where my feet engraved
my last mark upon the world
i’d find a face within the waves
