Stranded Lullaby
[Verse 1]
There's a still tension in the swell
Of dreamt debris afloat amidst the waves and then dispel
[Verse 2]
Aimless thoughts and papers blown around
A million moments meant remembered rest in deep dark sound
Game the mess
[Chorus]
I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea
Maybe we'll be there when you want
[Verse 3]
Anchorless and unmoored set amiss
Awake would only prove the fantasy made lucid sense
Sail on, sail on
[Chorus]
I'd like to know why you are all alone while I'm lost at sea
Maybe we'll be there when you want
[Verse 4]
There's a still tension in the swell
So give in to the vast receiving emptiness of time
Beyond, beyond
[Outro]
I'd like to know why you are all alone while I...
You're unsure if I am a loose end or a strand
That waits for you to mend or understand
