I gave up last night
Lay down in the tide
And let the waves sing songs
Like lullabies
I woke with the light
I'd risen and fell
Like anchors to watch
The sunrise I knew so well
And when the day passed slow
Eyes sun-bleached like bones
I didn't expect you to find me
But I didn't think I'd be alone
I'd be alone
I gave up your call
When my voice wouldn't show
And only the whales drifting above would
Stare and go
And when the stars bled through
The shifting of waves
I spread my arms, closed my eyes and let silence
Drift me away
You shook me awake
Half blind by the cold
You said that you found me
Frozen, left on the stones
And when I'm warm again
And wrapped in your arms
I'll tell you half truths and stories
So you don't ask why my voice was gone
