I wade in the water On the shores of tedium Where days come crashing Devoid of significance In the sands, my heart is lost Trapped in the neck of the hourglass As if to sift the soil and trap the gold But nothing sticks and nothing flows While the horizon bleeds its final light And paints the stars across my eyes I hear the hymn sung behind a veil Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim I hear you singing with the swans Waves reach far to wash away Another static, fallow day I've lost count, the grains won't fall I feel my blood slow to a halt While the horizon bleeds its final light And paints the stars across my eyes I hear the hymn sung behind a veil Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim Part the waters of old devotion Bleak and faded now Like moonlight scattered Across a restless ocean Take my hand and lead me down Trade my sober grey for brilliant blue Because my heart is lost Snared in the grip of a dying love Writhing in its final throes Time stands still and nothing flows I wade in the water In the tide of wasted years An endless stream of fallow days Wishing you were here
