The Sea and Its Floor

The ocean rose up and I swore we were lost

Between the wind and the rocks

But boys well sail on to the Promised Land

The sea and its floor may swallow us whole

So steady, all hands

And pray when it ends we run up on dry landWhen this storm ends Ill come back again

To you my home, my anchor

When this storm ends for you Ill head

With a dove and a branch in my handI lost more of my faith

With each cresting wave that cast us off course

My compass said North lie in two separate ways

And the stars they moved backwards on retrograde paths

Behind banks of clouds that emptied their rain out

For forty more daysWhen this storm ends Ill come back again

To you my home, my anchor

When this storm ends for you Ill head

With a dove and a branch in my hand
