The albatross

Fear lies beside me
A vessel, an army
That threatens the night

The wind is whispering
Howling and hissing
"be unafraid"

Tragic this moment of kindness
Touches my eyes in their blindness

Come lie beside me
Say i won't be lonely
As we kiss goodnight

For two ships are sailing
The wind is wailing
"an ocean awaits"

Captured this moment inspires us
To unlock the latches that bind us

And we will leave behind these fallen tears
For two will sail tonight
And here in this humble ship
I will make my home
