mothers have woven a black velvet ocean |
| [00:15.88] |
and spread it between the night and day shores |
| [00:22.70] |
so that children might sleep gently rocked by the motion |
| [00:30.50] |
of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours |
| [00:38.14] |
with you safe aboard by the shore we will linger |
| [00:45.54] |
and watch as your breathing it fills up the sail |
| [00:53.28] |
you loosen the moorings your grip on our finger |
| [01:01.14] |
and leave on the velvet a silvery trail |
| [01:11.23] |
|
| [01:17.22] |
along on the shore with our hearts close to broken |
| [01:24.27] |
we stand in the wake as you glide from our reach |
| [01:31.89] |
calmed by the thought that the voyage you are taking |
| [01:38.95] |
will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach |
| [01:46.81] |
we cannot sail with you, be there to guide you |
| [01:54.30] |
or pilot your boat through the black of the night |
| [02:01.75] |
but no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you |
| [02:10.05] |
away from pur love and its undying light |
| [02:19.80] |
|
| [02:51.59] |
we cannot sail with you, be there to guide you |
| [02:58.76] |
or pilot your boat through the black of the night |
| [03:06.07] |
but no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you |
| [03:14.51] |
away from pur love and its undying light |
| [03:25.01] |
|
| [03:25.71] |
