Lyrics

Let me run aground on the shores of your embrace
Let me luff the tattered canvas and loose all lines
Let me succumb but a moment still
And nestle in the rushes of your sighs

Let me be lulled by the rhythm of your heart
Let the soft insistant beating cheat all sense of time
Be not apart, if only a moment still
And I'll share the timeless motion of your soul

CH:
Day after day as I'm wending my way
Through the lashing of fury and sound
All I can do is to hope when I'm through
That you'll take this sojourner aground

Let me slake my thirst at the oasis of your mouth
Let me taste the sweet dark water of your silken well
let me abide but for a moment still
And drink the heady moisture from your cup

CH:
Day after day as I'm wending my way
Through the lashing of fury and sound
All I can do is to hope when I'm through
That you'll take this sojourner aground
