[00:07.59]I walked a spiraling village one night,
[00:13.02]Drawn by the word of a bell or a light.
[00:19.44]Out on the flats saw it rose to a spire.
[00:26.36]It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.
[00:34.28]
[00:37.07]Parent and child and an ocean between.
[00:42.59]One is not heard and the other not seen.
[00:49.41]Too many bottles but each had a message inside.
[00:57.04]It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.
[01:05.70]It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.
[01:13.76]
[01:24.01]Lucky we are when the starts leave us singing
[01:28.30]A hymn or a dirge when the surge of the ocean is gone, is gone.
[01:42.47]
[01:49.51]And the old woman just stares at her hands,
[01:55.59]So many heroes have crumbled to sand.
[02:02.60]All those cathedrals were merely by men.
[02:08.67]It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.
[02:17.91]It all becomes clear as the tide falls away.
[02:26.58]All falls away.
