Avalost

Slow motion movement
Into the light
Steadfast I walk
Into the brightest sight
Fusion of day and night
The stars are frozen
Layers of ice

Ice moving, peaceful
Exalted but quiet
The chill and the sea
Hurl back memories
Moments of clarity
You are caressing me

I've been travelling all night
To reach the coast of New Found Land
To meet the girl from my dreams
But she's not there

I sit down by the sea
At the coast of New Found Land
And I dream, I dream
About leaving

I could smell you
Right through the walls
These were the days
Sedateness put in its place
With you I let go
Did you know?

I had a thousand lives
Now the count is down to one
Playing safe was fine
But I'll stake it all this time
As I wade in
The icebergs sing

I've been travelling all night
To reach the coast of New Found Land
To meet the love of my life
She's not there

I sit down by the sea
At the coast of New Found Land
And I smile
As I dream
About leaving
