lyrics

A Tide of Souls

So now it’s come, the tale we both expected
So now we’ve run and all our fails connected
I loved it when you walked
I so loved it when we walked

But the ground it moved as though we were on thunder
Our problems soothed in the flames that burnt their plunder
I loved it where you ran
I so loved it when we ran

There’s a tide of souls with a buoyancy that grips them
Their coasts are carved by the waves that gnaw and nip them
You must have borrowed the teeth of saints
My lips the canvas, your tongue that paints

And so we swam in to a host of dangers
But every gram of malevolence forgave us
I loved it when we fell
As each trip made us tall as hell

There’s a tide of souls with a buoyancy that grips them
Their coasts are carved by the waves that gnaw and nip them
You must have borrowed the teeth of saints
My lips the canvas, your tongue that paints

So we’re been found to obey the twist of flavours
We could have drowned without your heavenly neighbours
No gleaming harp is left for me
But at your feet there is a symphony

There’s a tide of souls with a buoyancy that grips them
Their coasts are carved by the waves that gnaw and nip them
You must have borrowed the teeth of saints
My lips the canvas, your tongue that paints
