ocean song

I gave up last night Lay down in the tide And let the waves sing songs Like lullabies I woke with the light I'd risen and fell Like anchors to watch The sunrise I knew so well And when the day passed slow Eyes sun-bleached like bones I didn't expect you to find me But I didn't think I'd be alone I'd be alone I gave up your call When my voice wouldn't show And only the whales drifting above would Stare and go And when the stars bled through The shifting of waves I spread my arms, closed my eyes and let silence Drift me away You shook me awake Half blind by the cold You said that you found me Frozen, left on the stones And when I'm warm again And wrapped in your arms I'll tell you half truths and stories So you don't ask why my voice was gone
