The ship slips out from the grasp of the harbour Out of its hold into the restless water Silently, steadily, edging away Silently, steadily, pulling away I feel my heart swell, surge inside me Rising and falling, waves that take me Silently, steadily, onwards away Slow-motion world, night glimmering blackness Deep as the stars in the far-off darkness - Lights caught in time, far far away Bound to the earth, burnt through with fire Loose on the water, moving through air All traces pass sooner or later Behind and beyond, far far away.
