Across The Gulf -

Out here so long, the ghost

Gone with more than I had hoped for

Great hands will lift me skyward

Just a dream, the only way through

Is through with it now

Where to hide?

Back of your limbs folded, stretch the walls

The wind from taking

A flaming cynicism

Hell is other people

Oh dear, what have we started now?

Where to hide?

Come out to the edge

Just lift, I reach for the centre

Hold me

Hold me

A flame in you

Passed across your eyes

You stare into love

You end what you despise

Step forward

Ashes to dust

To dust I’ll set you free

Looking out across the gulf

I can see the other side

Drifting out above the gulf

I hear your echo in my mind

It’s such a waste to be born into a love then

Fall into pieces to be born again

To you I return, my love

I have never let you go

Step forward

Ashes to dust

To dust I’ll set you free

Free, set you free, free

Spiraling in

Pull the covers over me

Slowly

from me
