I heard your voice at midnight[00:00:51]
By the river shore[00:00:52]
I saw your child sleeping[00:00:52]
Behind an open door[00:01:33]
The moon was in the river[00:01:34]
Shining up from the floor[00:01:34]
And the fish swam like moonlight[00:01:35]
Through your child's closing door[00:01:36]
And morning is the long way home[00:01:37]
The fisherman was drowning[00:01:37]
By his broken heel[00:01:38]
His screams were tiny bubbles[00:01:38]
And his tongue made of steel[00:01:39]
When he died his teeth made stones[00:01:40]
For your lonely child to feel[00:01:40]
And his eyes like prayers were quiet[00:01:41]
When you heard his tongues of steel[00:01:42]
And morning is the long way home[00:01:46]
The ghost of ghosts was passing[00:01:47]
And the grasses waved like hair[00:01:47]
I knew I'd die forgotten[00:01:48]
I'm the whisper of your care[00:01:49]
The water would surround me[00:01:49]
And my body would despair[00:01:51]
But my heart would understand[00:01:51]
The door that's closing there[00:01:52]
And morning is the long way home[00:01:53]
