We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea - Declan O'Rourke[00:00:01]
Written by:Declan O'Rourke[00:00:01]
Along the quayside you were a light[00:00:19]
And I a reflection lay across the river and the night[00:00:28]
You were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised[00:00:36]
And names were whispered to and by you and I[00:00:45]
The tides began to steal away from morning light[00:01:13]
As night receded river walls seemed to grow high[00:01:22]
Then you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes[00:01:32]
When we awoke we had been drifting[00:01:41]
We didn't mean to go to sea[00:01:55]
We didn't mean to drift away[00:02:05]
We never planned to up and leave[00:02:15]
But still the sea took us away[00:02:25]
We saw no lands on the horizon[00:02:34]
No distant shores along the fray[00:02:44]
Yet all the more we found ourselves[00:02:54]
When we got lost at sea that day[00:03:04]
Timbers creaked all else was quiet and relieved[00:03:33]
Except the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves[00:03:42]
It had to dawn on us our truth had been believed[00:03:52]
Beyond all lies and jealousy[00:04:02]
We sailed high wind half mast[00:04:13]
Due north towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders[00:04:17]
That matched our speed to stay ahead[00:04:26]
The afternoon was bleeding to death[00:04:31]
And soon the sky was racing red[00:04:36]
To see the stars remove their hats out of respect[00:04:40]
We didn't mean to go to sea[00:05:01]
We didn't mean to drift away[00:05:11]
We never planned to up and leave[00:05:21]
But still the sea took us away[00:05:32]
We saw no lands on the horizon[00:05:41]
No distant shores along the fray[00:05:51]
Yet all the more we found ourselves[00:06:01]
When we got lost at sea that day[00:06:11]
That day[00:06:20]
