lyrics

two years it takes this rosy light to fade
the sea is finally taking me but waves they show no wake
these weeks are killing me no one but the sea can touch my heart or body

at least I no longer long for what I've left behind me

I've swum as far as my body can take
but now the waves will come to carry me away
--swept off by the tears the earth itself has made

at least I'll no longer long for what's not here today

the softness of the breeze as the green-blue crests bring me
to the gleaming light of collective memory
earthly sweet, the tomb in which my secrets sleep
my body was the grave its marker washed away

at least I'll no longer long for what's not here today
at least I can no longer long for what's longer here today
