lyrics

She told him to aim with his heart/ like that would keep him from danger/ saw children swarming with flies/ and wounded crawling for shelter/ the smell of war is in the air/ and there’s no stopping the vultures/ we could have handled them once/ but we forgot what we stand for
Sprung from his beating chest/ through veins and to his fingertips/ to paper waiting patiently/ for words that filled his heart with fear/ but he would not/ turn back this time/ steadfast he pushed through every line/ watched ink dance through his last goodbye/ and felt this urgent plea fall from his lips
carry me/ when my broken body is numb/ be my dawn/ when these endless nights stretch on
and in her dreams that night/ she saw a phantom with the ocean in his eyes/ the smell of sea foam in his hair/ and so she waited on the shore for him/ for days/ and when she saw his body borne in by the tide/ bobbing gently on the waves/ she felt his promise shatter/ fall in facets/ sparkling like a thousand breakers/ catching and refracting the light from a dying sun
she swam out to him/ laid her head against his chest/ inhaled through gritted teeth/ and cursed the gods with all her breath/ her fury moved them/ they cast her soul into the wind/ where it rose above the waves to be with his/ and where they met/ two birds of white/ sailed out across a sea as deep as any sea I’ve ever known/ and close to twilight/ when the sun meets the horizon/ and the waves beat out a cadence on the sand/ you can hear her/ singing softly/ in a voice as clear as glass
I will carry you
