Sleeping At Last - Bright Sadness
текст песни

(this is such a beautiful place, this has got to be the closest thing to Heaven)

c bright sunrise through shattered glass,
c fountain of youth slipping through the cracks.
I drag my feet through perfect sand
Toward a future i no longer understand.
But my daughters' collection of broken shells
Teach me: i can still learn lessons if i let myself.

“i'll be alright, i'll be alright, i'll be alright”
It's been a year at the mercy of a merciless tide.
But now we're here, clothes barely dry,
We return to the ocean one more time
For you.

In the water
We pay attention
To one another.
In the water
We remember
That nothing, even death,
Lasts forever.

I want to swim, i want to swim, i want to try
To trust in the mercy of the merciless tide.
My mother taught me all will be reconciled,
God, what a gift to be my mother's child.

I want to swim, i want to swim and close my eyes
Be swept up in the mercy of the merciful tide,
My mother believed i will be reconciled.
God, what a gift to be my mother's child.

In the water
We remember
That nothing, even death,
Lasts forever
