An iron sun sinks,
Leaving this bay,
Behind bridges of silence,
Below saints,
A creature of dry land,
A gale around me,
The son of a searcher,
He's never seen the sea,
Nurseling beauty,
How far can you crawl,
God knows I love you,
You are an original,
I came without reason,
So bitter, so free,
You were born by the river,
But you've never seen the sea,
I stood at your tombstone,
I felt alive,
A vision between us,
A sun in the sky,
I weighed up your madness,
In scales of degree,
You lived your whole life,
But you never saw the sea,
You never saw the sea.
