lyrics

Stranger On A Shore

You land, descend, a ship without a why
In grim determined mind and from a clear blue sky.

And so, I know, as soon as you can see
In spite of all my love, you’ll take my Id from me.

I’ve buried all my friends, would bury them again
I’ve dug a hole for you, so you will forget my name.

Through tempest, loss and space, I gather here my will
And press it to the place where reason hovers still.

You land, descend, a ship without a why
In grim determined mind and from a clear blue sky.
