Lyrics
There's a still tension in the swell Of dreamt debris afloat amidst the waves and then dispel Aimless thoughts and papers blown around A million moments meant remembered rest in deep dark sound Game the mess I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea Maybe we'll be there when you want Anchorless and unmoored set amiss Awake would only prove the fantasy made lucid sense Sail on sail on I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea Maybe we'll be there when you want There's a still tension in the swell So give in to the vast receiving emptiness of time Beyond beyond I'd like to know why you are all alone while I... You're unsure if I am A loose end or a strand That waits for you to mend or understand
Our Lullabye Lyrics
You and I haven't been before And all the love from times of yours never mourn now I don't know how Lullaby only made for two I've waited since the start of time to sing it now for you And I love you I really do It's all been heard before But now I mean it more Hear me here Someday my voice might not be near Here we are floating in the dark And though we don't know where we're going we embark on Sail on, sail on We've only so much time I wish you could be mine, evermore Maybe there's nowhere to explore I was made for you You were made for me Simply you and me were made to be It's standard fare But I don't care Right now, we're now Lullaby floating in the dark Along with all the other songs that came before ours Lost in the stars I won't be overdue This song was meant for you I'll love you till you're gone Our song goes on and on Goodnight and maybe we're sleeping after all
