lyrics

I left my love by the mountainside
and I walked alongside the river
in the shore I had found they had turned the tides
and the light ahead growing dimmer

and I heard you calling
but I didn't listen
and I watched you falling
but the mark doesn't know what it's missing

and lord all the world is a cave
and I haven't seen the light of day
only shadows of the wind and waves
and beds of needles amongst the hay

and I left my pain in the windowsill
to drip into the blue bottles
spread between your legs you were spinning all that silk
I'm twisted and I'm tangled still

and I led the powder
across the entire range
and I made a wish in the well
but nothing seemed to change

and I drank the water
from all the seven seas
but there's a song in the swell
that calls you back to me
back to me
