The Grace of the Tides

by Sara Ayers

/

about

The anguish of loss, and the days that follow.

lyrics

A grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking
Horizons unbroken as far as you can see
All the words in the world mean nothing now
Just empty sound

And the days come, endless days
The days come
And this is harder than you ever could imagine

You've lost your ship, your pilot, your captain, your compass

And there are no stars to find your bearing
There is no solace now
Only solitude
The waves wash over you
The future is not recognizable.
All you have is a map of missing things

Float, float
For a moment
For a day
For as long as you need
Rest and wait
Rest and float

You're not the first to cross an ocean alone
And the day will come
When you can hear the birds again
And see a misty land
The tides will carry you ever slowly home
To a strange new shore

"This is music to conjure lofty dreams of perfect love, to tell trans-galactic science-fiction epics, to examine the inside of a grain of sand." -- Michael Hochanadel, The Schenectady Gazette
