Lyrics

SWEET AND LOW SWEET AND LOW
WIND OF THE WESTERN SEA
BLOW BLOW BREEZE AND BLOW
WIND OF THE WESTERN SEA
OVER THE ROLLING WATERS GO
COME FROM THE DROPPING MOON AND GO
AND BLOW HER AGAIN TO ME

DEAR LOVE DEAR BOY WHO WALKS WITH ME HEAR
BELOW ME LIES A VALLEY ERODED BY SAD TEARS
BEHIND US LIES A GAP WHERE MY FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN
IT SERVED ONCE AS A DOORWAY WHERE THE THIEF ENTERED IN

LIGHT AND LUST ARE ENEMIES, IT WAS VERY DARK
A ROSE TOO YOUNG TO USE ITS THORNS, SHE WAS TORN APART
BUT STOLEN PETALS MARK THE THIEF FOREVER AND A DAY
WHO WILL HOLD ME NOW AND MAKE IT GO AWAY

CAN I HATE YOU CLEANLY FOR TEARING WHAT YOU DID
OR WILL VENGEANCE BE A STORM THAT FALLS ON BOTH OUR HEADS
BUT NIGHT IS MORNING ONCE TIME BRINGS UP THE SUN
FORGIVENESS IS THE SHIFTING WIND THAT MOVES ME BACK HOME

HOLD ME PLEASE AND CARRY ME THROUGH THE END OF TIME
SHOW ME THE REASONS IN THE RAVAGING RHYMES
BUT NEW PETALS I CAN FORM FROM THE DIRT AT OUR FEET
BE THOU MY FATHER THAT I LONG TO MEET
