lyrics

With a word
I knew my weakness was a curse
Hollow eyes, and fever smile
Swollen tongue, with bones defined
I’ll trust no savior who cries
“It could always be worse.. child, it could be worse”

With a sigh
I found I could not manage further pain
Wrapped in stories of a pure delight
I lost all reason to believe in my own might
I’d sooner seek the flower, the final tide
So far away, beyond these reins

I’ve no soul to rest
I left it cured in a bottle of your finest fragrance
Oh, lover please
Use it sparingly

With a blade
I carved your name into the sand
This ocean has a way to heal the shame
Each wave oblivious to the worries that they bathe
May they wash all souls too sad to save
For it’s not salvation they seek, just some peace before the grave

I’ve no soul to rest
I left it cured in a bottle of your finest fragrance
Oh, lover please
Use it sparingly

Whilst gently paddling along this glistening river with the sun warming my back I found contentment. At a peaceful spot I set up camp and breathed in the beauty........."I think I'll stay a while" I said to myself. Thank you for this peaceful spot Mr Henderson :0) Martin Shields
