lyrics

The mist rose so gently the waves
Never seemed to crash upon the pebble shore
And I was afraid to stand beside the water as the stars, and tide pools
Sang with ripples
And I had so many doubts
The night grew brittle as I stepped out

Into the sound
As shadows sprouted out of every shoal
The moon set wandering souls apart
From those seeking to sink and drown
Oh Lorelei, am I among them
Or was it fear I over came
As the shroud of mist sank

Kelp clung to my ankle
As I struggled to the heart of the waves
My thighs were soaking wet
The sky was cavernous
And yawning into nothing

How I wanted to be there
Amongst the nebulae and black
I found some peace in the stillness
And left my breath with the mist

Was there some line I crossed that night
Within the sea, or in my own heart
Sometimes I wish I'd succumbed to the brine
For I'm drowning now in arid life

If I'd been brave I would have stayed there
But instead I'd hoped to imbibe more of life
The mist and waves are now my every day
And I struggle as I can back to shore

But I can't do this
Great whites are circling
No I can't do this
The night is darker than the day is bright
And I am so afraid
That I can't do this

Alone.
