Meridian Lyrics


In the burning daze
Of unnatural light
I took a long drive
Into the eveningOn the barracks road
Past the generals' eyes
Down to the seawall
Where the waves stand byThe enormous lull
Then a roar in the sky
And then the searchlights
Over the airfieldAnd over the ocean winging low
I saw the first wave
And the flares that fall
Like fireflies on the islandsIn the boom and swell
From the waves to the heights
Reverberations
Of our old livesLike a golden bell
That would ring through the night
And then the front moves

And we raise our eyes
In the silence of the islands

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Shearwater was formed by two bandmembers of Austin, TX's Okkervil River. Okkervil's back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff formed Shearwater so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on. Band members today include Jonathan Meiburg, Thor Harris, Kim Burke, Lucas Oswald, with many contributions from others.
