White Waves

I won't go traveling tonight

I won't go back to the wolves, now

There's something singing in the ice

In the deepest part of the world

And a film across my eyes

As I'm watching all the waves turn white

He took me out on the tide

To make pearls of my eyes

And uncover me, oh, without asking

Tore every stich, every line, every hook, every eye

Between him and the diamonds, diamonds

I would not give, but maybe tonight I will

With you holding my arms and my stuttering heart

As I'm bound and flayed alive

Oh, don't go traveling tonight

Hold that child in your arms

Well, there's no more canaries in the mine

And a cloud, black over the water

And a voice, low in my ear

Says, "The things that we did here will never die"
