it was i beside the warmth of the sea
grounded neither in tide nor in reality
as living with dreams eyes wide awake
take me in heart, please don't forsake
black feathers mask the sightless eye
that teared and welled a tiresome cry
no fixation could ever hope to fix me
not even beside the warmth of the sea
back lifted up off the cold, marble floor
standing to my feet to answer the door
ringing like a bell bringing me ever near
soliloquies and songs singing in my ear
the sweet and the salt, taste on my tongue
lyrics unspoken which sang to have sung
