Shearwater - Meridian lyrics
[Shearwater - Meridian lyrics]
In the burning daze of unnatural light
I took a long drive into the evening
On the barracks road past the generals' eyes
Down to the seawall where the waves stand by
The enormous lull then a roar in the sky
And then the searchlights over the airfield
And over the ocean winging low
I saw the first wave
And the flares that fall
Like fireflies on the islands
In the boom and swell
From the waves to the heights reverberations
Of our old lives like a golden bell
That would ring through the night
And then the front moves
And we raise our eyes
In the silence of the islands
I took a long drive into the evening
On the barracks road past the generals' eyes
Down to the seawall where the waves stand by
The enormous lull then a roar in the sky
And then the searchlights over the airfield
And over the ocean winging low
I saw the first wave
And the flares that fall
Like fireflies on the islands
In the boom and swell
From the waves to the heights reverberations
Of our old lives like a golden bell
That would ring through the night
And then the front moves
And we raise our eyes
In the silence of the islands
