By the Morning

Far away in the distance I see
The only light that shines for me
A starry blue upon the sea
Without a word it calls to me

Before I wake, sound asleep
By the morning, in too deep

The clouds roll in and darkness reigns
Those who are dead cannot feel pain
The blood and currants flowing free
So shines a light that I can see

After I wake, fast asleep
By the morning, in too deep

An empty vessel left to decay
The light no longer far away
Past the shores of the starry sea
I fall away breathlessly

Never to wake, never to sleep
By the morning, in too deep
