Signpost In The Sea

At first light, you looked so fragile Felt that if I moved I'd break you Something solid forming in the air around you Lifts me off the ground, without a sound Swallow me whole, body and soul Lift me up and strip me naked Take my mouth and take my eyes Leave me where there are no shadows Under starless, cloudless skies And you say, there are no signposts in the sea Lying empty, shell-like In a storm that seems to pa*s round me I can see the shadows of the men that pa*sed here Watch them take a stand Take me hand Swallow me whole Body and soul And you say, I am the captain of your ship But you say, there are no signposts in the sea
