Leeward Side

(album: The Beginning And The End Of Everything - 2013)

And I have bound myself to your bearings
My love is a nesting bird, lodged in the breast of her
Lace up your boots tied to the jagged line
Of a million different lives, under the leeward side
Because I want to be someone worthy of your conversation
The madness in the moonless night
So shake of your leeward side

And everything that I did or did not do
In the miniature of my life has a lineage back to you
Some will sit on their hands despite their feet
One day I know I'll see, you dancing away from me

Because I want to be someone worthy of your conversation
The madness in the moonless night
So shake off your leeward side
We all want to be someone in the miniature of your life
The madness in the wounded sky, so shake off your salvation

You want more, you will want more
You will want more then I can offer you away from my shore
To my skin, to my bones, down to my very core
All you need is one I will not follow

One day you will unfold and fall into the untold
One day you long to be dancing away from me

But under the hollow skies past where the sails divide
Until the day I die I'll be your leeward side
