lyrics

DOWN BY THE WATER

Ashes fall into sunlit waves
Is it rest is it escape
Now they sink into the deep dark deep
Is it waiting is it sleep
The waves are salty, just like tears
Is it loss, is it relief
Are you borne upwards by our prayers
Are you worn down by our grief

All that is must come undone
Our end is certain as the setting of the sun
All that wakes must come to sleep
Our days are lent they are not ours to keep

We go meet up down by the water
Down by the water
When this day is over
Down by the water

Now the years have run on by
And when I recall your face
I try and try but cannot bring to mind
Some of the lines time has erased

All that is must come undone
The day is certain as the setting of the sun
Every day must end in night
Until that veil is torn which
now blocks our sight
