Full lyrics:
O THAT I HAD THE WINGS OF A DOVE TO_ REST ON ME /
This is not new to me as I sit in this boat, but I’m so cold my bones will freeze / And there’s nought through the haze I’ve been_ waiting so long but my hour has gone away /
Lost at sea
The albatross
Is awfully
Across my neck
I promised you I’d
Come home
No one knows
Where we are
In the mist of haze
Vanished for days
You sit and wait
A blissful hate
For the time past
No signs or maps
For the way out
My mind is absent
– From thirst and hunger
Worse to suffer
Sure to die
Surrounded by the salty water
Yet there’s not a drop to offer
– I’m staring out
into reflections
yet I’m sitting
wishing this
was Icarus
I’d fly home
And tell you this
O THAT I HAD THE WINGS OF A DOVE TO_ REST ON ME / This is not new to me as I sit in this boat, but I’m so cold my bones will freeze / And there’s nought through the haze I’ve been waiting so long but my hour has gone away / TO FLY BACK WITH A BRANCH IN HIS BEAK TO RESCUE ME
I’m sitting in the boat and now my mind is crazy
Growing older by the moment but the time sedates me
– Knowing that I’m flowing cause the rime is ancient
Lost my patience with the fate I’m facing
– Giving up on hope and love
Love for myself and love for us
What’s love when you know you’re stuck in a rut?
Days go by, I fucked this up.
– write my life’s entire story
On the back of a letter you gave me
Rain is pouring down
I open my mouth
But mad that I’ll live another day without
Someone
– I was on a ship
But the men called friends just lost their wits
One day there’d be a mutiny
I knew they’d be singing the same as me
O THAT I HAD THE WINGS OF A DOVE TO_ REST ON ME / This is not new to me as I sit in this boat, but I’m so cold my bones will freeze/
Now I think I’m seeing something
A mirage or if I’m wondering
Cause when all you see is water
It’s no different from the four walls
That surround you as a shelter
But the only thing that helps you
Is when you know someone cares
To tell you that you’re almost there
– my body shivers
Wonder if I’ll die or live or
Make it home
– I can’t say no
But at this point
There is no hope
Until I see a dove in the sky
Flying around, I wonder why
I don’t have the strength to see for myself
Until I hear the ringing bells
O THAT I HAD THE WINGS OF A DOVE TO_ REST ON ME / This is not new to me as I sit in this boat, but I’m so cold my bones will freeze / And there’s nought through the haze I’ve been_ waiting so long but my hour has gone away
