lyrics

He casts his line
Into the stained-glass waves
He sees only a happy past
As the sun begins to fade

He feels only her caress,
The rising of the tides,
Solitude, such solitude,
And water on all sides

Storm on the rise,
Oh she comes to life
Oh acrid breeze,
Let it not be so

He still sees her struggling
To break the undertow
Her hand in his,
He cannot let go

His heart is braced
Against the coming gale
In the sea he sees her face
Swollen, aged, pale

He cannot forgive himself
‘The tempest be my judge’
By the light of the setting sun
He knows his end is come

Storm on the rise
Oh she comes to life
Oh acrid breeze
Let it not be so

He still sees her sink below
Fear born in her eyes
Her hand in his
He let go

Crashing waves tear flesh from bone
Arms open wide he swims for home

Morn on the rise
The wind bears no voice
Lost to the sea
They are now content


Two hearts torn by the storm
Two lovers slain
One fell to the crashing waves
And one to falling rain
