Lay out the bowline
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the ring
Will I be so brave?


We, beloved of the springtime
We were lions to the light
All the night
Will I always misremember
How we called our kisses bright?
Will I make this right?


This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive

So lay out the bowline
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will rove and I will ramble
Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen days

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive

This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
