Lament

Oh, out sitting by the dark side, waiting by the wayside of your heart
I’ve been thinking for a long time, it was always better at the start
Oh, the nights grow long, the days too long, you’re lying here
I would battle with the shackles on me to the pier
And your love has been watching the seas, till you’re here
When the tide came in, I was wallowing, the day was growing dark
And I’ve noticed that for the time you spent keeping us apart
I counted the pebbles, and I scoured the shore, the hope of finding something
more
But the west wind and I gave out, my back against
You felt it wander the seas, till you’re here
