Nightship Lyrics - Clark Anne

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 pass sooner or later 

Behind and beyond, far far away
