I spent my life so patient Waiting for the descent The gift to bring me water The drought that ends thereafter I tread my foot most lightly Past the day left nightly And striving to be honest But hopeless without ballast
For the light did sweep across the sea You were the keeper of the key And the holder of my destiny A thousand poems for the sight I've seen I've found myself the island
A tree will bend and offer The branch to give the altar My promise will not falter To you my dearest lover
And now we lay Down the day In this we're safe We know the way Where we're going
