On Another Shore

All these years I waited cos I knew that you'd return. No stranger's

hand has touched this temple.

One candle slowly burned for you. (Were you waiting too?) For you...just

for you.

I swear I heard you crying on that cruel uncanny breeze. I saw you

crawling down there on your bleeding hands and knees. Now crawl right

up to me, my captain. The good ship sails away forever...That's the

way it's meant to be.

The good ship sails away forever. Leave us be.

These were the gentle words she said, though I could not find her in

my head. I searched for little clues but all the lights were glowing

red. And in the end I smiled politely, snatched my coat and fled.

From you.

Now I swear I hear her crying on the cruel uncanny breeze. I see her

crawling down there on her bleeding hands and knees. Come to me!

The good ship sails away forever. It was never meant to be.
