Halcyon days long wasted, departing our shores A respite from thought that was useless and I get no more A window to you that is narrowed and not yet shut A trip through a sickening distance that I need so much As we dream of our descent upon the surface I see settlement fires Gift of water that we carry Lies in slumber under magnifiers Where is the rescue? It didn't show Where is the bottom? I wouldn't know I missed you so As we brake for our descent upon the surface I see settlement fires This start we carry for your oceans Lies in waiting under magnifiers You can't know the hours that kept me awake Awake with a start and the instruments say I've come so far A stag and a doe and a surface here are being lost Hope wasn't here, but it slept in the seeds of our own dust Do you feel loved?
