Lyrics
Moorings
Are you ready to repent
all your sins so heaven sent,
yesterday?s promises are bent,
ah but maybe they wont even
make a dent, make a dent
I?ve seen you naked and ecstatic,
but it wasn?t really true,
like your outline in the sunlight,
it was only half of you.
Chorus
I know your moorings have slipped,
and your ship it is drifting free,
on an endless sea, you rock uneasily
further and further away it seems
In the journal of your time,
Is writ another line,
but you can?t decipher a word,
strange symbols lying trampled in the dirt
How do we manage all this time,
between what?s ours what?s yours and what?s mine,
it slips through our fingers like the dust,
but it shapes the whole of us
