Avalost

Slow motion movement

Into the light

Steadfast I walk

Into the brightest sight

Fusion of day and night

The stars are frozen

Layers of ice

Ice moving, peaceful

Exalted but quiet

The chill and the sea

Hurl back memories

Moments of clarity

You are caressing me

I've been travelling all night

To reach the coast of New Found Land

To meet the girl from my dreams

But she's not there

I sit down by the sea

At the coast of New Found Land

And I dream, I dream

About leaving

I could smell you

Right through the walls

These were the days

Sedateness put in its place

With you I let go

Did you know?

I had a thousand lives

Now the count is down to one

Playing safe was fine

But I'll stake it all this time

As I wade in

The icebergs sing

I've been travelling all night

To reach the coast of New Found Land

To meet the love of my life

She's not there

I sit down by the sea

At the coast of New Found Land

And I smile

As I dream

About leaving
