Soundings In Fathoms

You are a book with torn out pages
Thrown from your heart to the fire
I’d like to rewrite your missing chapters
Riddle your plot with desire
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
Now I shall put them all back
You are an avalanche
Swiftly descending
Soon overtaking my house on a hill
I’ll wait outside against all precaution
Convince myself to hold still
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
Now I shall put them all back
Whoa whoaaa whoaaa
Patiently I’ll wait
And by the water’s edge
And soundings in fathoms
To measure out your depth
You are a body
Of water so deep
I dare not dive
A fearful leviathan
Lurks underneath
Do you have something to hide?
No
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
Now I shall put them all back
And patiently I’ll wait
And by the water’s edge
And soundings in fathoms
To measure out your depth
You are a book with torn pages
Thrown from your heart to the fire
I’d like to rewrite your missing chapters
Riddle your plot with desire
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
Now I shall put them all back
