from gentle and merciless light
darkness will take you back
you’ve forgotten how comforting
home can be when everybody’s left
love can be so threatening, you know
that’s why we keep it in our heart
and not hold it in our hands
must you go on that ship
just to prove you couldn’t swim?
a bag of tomorrow’s lunch
and lifetime supplies of sadness
the horn was blowing
there was never another shore
you close your eyes
though there’s no shame in losing
