about

Track 12 from the debut album 'The Red Room'

lyrics

You are still lagoon
Silent water
Lapping gentle at my wound
Oh, pale and cool
Moving round me like the moon

And I am silt and stone
Earth and mortar
Circled round you like a home
Of skin and bone
Now the water flows alone

And so you end
In the wide Sargasso Sea
White horses made of memory
And there you ride on their melody
You ride with grace and beauty

You are drifting wide
Taking water
Struggling weak against the tide
On an ocean wide
Between your dreams and mine

But dream of distant shore
‘Cross the water
There you’ll find a place to moor
Oh, rest assured
And I’ll watch tsunamis soar

And so you sail
In the wide Sargasso Sea
White horses made of memory
I watch them rise to your melody
Your soul rides on and sings to me

And so you end
In the wide Sargasso Sea
White horses made of memory
I watch them rise to your melody
You ride with grace and beauty

And so you end
In the wide Sargasso Sea
White horses made of memory
I watch them ride
You’re riding on melody
You’re riding on melody

You’re riding on melody
You ride with grace and beauty
