The Verging Sundown

When darkness falls
Upon the calm and tired sea
Then I’ll hear the calls
Of some well-known winds that
Taste like eternity

They sail my soul to where I suffered
Seize my heart when it’s uncovered
Yet I’m sure at any weather
When I’m there I’m lost forever

Silence on the beach
Why you’re so far to reach
The verging sundown
Seems infinitely long

The sky is clear
But some alarm is hidden there
Like it’s my own tear
I’m so frightened that it
Spreads above everywhere

I can’t stand this panic’s chilling
At home under the heavy ceiling
Something pulls me outta my shelter
To the shore where I feel better

Sunset is near
I’m filled with shelling fear
My sheathless exhale
Ends with a helpless cry

Here comes the storm

I’m breached, eclipsed and stunned by the lightening
It rings my nerves away
And makes me run astray
The wind’s still pushing me further
It waits, but I don’t devote
I wish I could be remote

Something allures me deep into the foam
It feels like I push and wade into my home

I don’t know why, but now I don’t care for
Am I gonna be buried in there
Now I don’t dare to fear
The storm is taking me over
I try to liberate
But can’t escape my fate

I’m water-bound: it feels like I’m stolen
Can’t verge no longer so I am falling

Washed away I’m calm and sober
Choked by dark and tranquility
I transcend, I’m gone to nowhere
Overwhelmed and too tired to be

Washed away I’m calm and sober
Choked by dark and tranquility
I transcend, I’m gone to nowhere
Overwhelmed and too tired to be

Can this death torrent
Be my torpid end
No… no… no

I wade unaimed
My dear, I need your loving aid
I’m left behind
Too week to fight the tide

Only for you
I struggle through and through
Can’t sink like a stone
Can’t leave you there alone

Up to the surface I go
Up! I’m pushing up!
Up! I’m pushing up!
Up! I’m pushing up!

Never leave me alone
Never leave me alone
Never leave me alone
Be always near

Never leave me alone
Never leave me alone
Never leave me alone
Be always near

Be always near
When I’m verged in here
So if you really care
Don’t let me disappear
