lyrics

Sigh with the waves--tide out
I'm missing you today
All the words
Blow like foam
Moonlight on water glass
Clear my throat
And hope things come to pass
I don't quite trust You

So hold me on the shore
So I can sing and dance a little more
It's the only way
I know how to pray this pain

sand shifting flying feet
I ran into a fence the other day--in the rain
It left a line across my chest
I was running from the feelings in my head
Didn't work so well
A towel and some tea
These friends you gave to me
So far away So far away

And God I feel that You must be
Somewhere out past Aberdeen
Somehow transatlantic

The static and the cut-outs
in our skype prayer conversations
I need you so much nearer
I need you so much nearer
Can I see your face?
You're walking out upon the waves
I wish they'd swallow me
And take me out to sea
But I sit on a carpet floor
I'll sing some songs, I'll pray some more
If you come back in the next nine months
Meet me in Jersey

Come out, come out, come out, you say
Come out with me upon the waves
No, I'd rather not
I'm tired and hope is hard
Each wave we climb means another fall
And more good-byes
Stay with me
I'll try to follow, see
But when I tried to walk on water
I just got wet
