lyrics

Built upon a bended knee
On bridge top waters far from here
There was a time before
When I too was brave
Wait to slip away
Leave this body
More importantly at last
Twice aboard the sea
Roiling waters
Loose knot loose joint
Loose lose rest choose
Harsh unfailingly light
Mirror-still surface
Get thee all away arms length
Writhing in the nets
Silver platter
Anchor shallows
Stop here rest near
Harsh unfailingly light
Mirror-still surface
Get thee all away arms length
Writhing in the nets
Built upon a bended knee
On bridge top waters far from here
There was a time before
When I too was brave
Wait to slip away
Leave this body
More importantly at last
Twice aboard the sea
Roiling waters
Loose knot loose joint
Loose lose rest choose
Harsh unfailingly light
Mirror-still surface
Get thee all away arms length
Writing in the nets
Silver platter
Anchor shallows
Stop here rest near
Harsh unfailingly light
Mirror-still surface
Get thee all away arms length
Writing in the nets
I recall days bygone
Hammer and nail labor
I recall days bygone
Shiver and wail
I recall days bygone
Hammer and nail labor
I recall days bygone
Shiver and wail
Wait to slip away
Wait to slip away
