Across The Gulf

Out here so long, the ghost
Gone with more than I had hoped for
Great hands will lift me skyward
Just a dream, the only way through
Is through with it now
Where to hide?
Back of your limbs folded, stretch the walls
The wind from taking
A flaming cynicism
Hell is other people
Oh dear, what have we started now?
Where to hide?
Come out to the edge
Just lift, I reach for the centre
Hold me
Hold me
A flame in you
Passed across your eyes
You stare into love
You end what you despise
Step forward
Ashes to dust
To dust I’ll set you free
Looking out across the gulf
I can see the other side
Drifting out above the gulf
I hear your echo in my mind
It’s such a waste to be born into a love then
Fall into pieces to be born again
To you I return, my love
I have never let you go
Step forward
Ashes to dust
To dust I’ll set you free
Free, set you free, free
Spiraling in
Pull the covers over me
Slowly
from me
