Change Of Time

I had a dream last night

I dreamt that I was swimming

And the stars up above

Directionless and drifting

Somewhere in the dark

Were the sirens and the thunder

And around me as I swam

The drifters who?d gone under

Time, love

Time, love

Time, love

It?s only a change of time

I had a dream last night

And rusting far below me

Battered hulls and broken hardships

Leviathan and Lonely

I was thirsty so I drank

And though it was salt water

There was something ?bout the way

It tasted so familiar

The black clouds I?m hanging

This anchor I?m dragging

The sails of memory rip open in silence

We cut through the lowlands

All hands through the saltlands

The white caps of memory

Confusing and violent

I had a dream last night

And when I opened my eyes

Your shoulder blade, your spine

Were shorelines in the moon light

New worlds for the weary

New lands for the living

I could make it if I tried

I closed my eyes I kept on swimming

(rough seas, they carry me wherever I go)
