Ancient river, all mud and memory
Draining dreams out of a weary city's head
Take me to an ocean bed

Bruised pebbles
Bones thrown from the tide
A prickly pavement my feet don't understand
Lead me to the sand

Take me to the edge
Take me to the end
Take me to the sea
Let her salt sheets
Wrap around my skin
Save me from this city
Restore the space within
Before it closes in on me
Take me to the sea

It seems so distant, the place where I began
Doors of memory that opened up before
Are closing more and more
Like shells taken from a foreign shore
Remember music from their home, the sea
So it is with me

Take me to the edge
Take me to the end
Take me to the sea
Let her salt sheets
Wrap around my skin
Save me from this city
Restore the space within
Before it closes in on me
Take me to the sea

Bruised thrown from the tide
A prickly pavement my feat don't understand
Lead me to the sand
Ancient river, all mud and memory
Draining dreams out of a weary city's head
Take me to an ocean bed
