Nightship Lyrics

The ships slips out from the grasp of the harbour
Out of its hold into the restless water
Silently, steadily, edging away
Silently, steadily, pulling away
I feel my heart swell, surge inside me
Rising and falling, waves that take me
Silently, steadily, onwards away
Slow-motion words, night glimmering blackness
Deep as the stars in the far-off darkness -
Lights caught in time, far far away
Bound to the earth, burnt through with fire
Loose on the water, moving through air
All traces pa*s sooner or later
Behind and beyond, far far away
