Alabaster Walls

Hey Mr. Sailor
Come to the river and see
The waters rising up and
Testing your ardent belief
Me when I say
It's coming down
If you don't learn to breathe beneath the surface, you'll
Surely drown

Oh the horizon
Glistens like the dew fall
-ing in the desert
Under alabaster walls
Will crumble down, so don't you dare look back

Oooh-oooh oooh-ooh-ooh ooooooh-oooh ooooh

Time will tell us what we need to know
Hide your bluff behind sincerity and watch their trust grow
Nevermore to victimize respite
Or my dear, did you have something very different in mind?
All of this is far beyond my dreams
Hiding in plain sight

I took a call today
From someone I didn't know
I took a chance away
To hitchhike anywhere I go
On thinking the same old peace of mind
I think I finally understand the proverb "love is blind"

And as I travelled
I pitched a tent along the road
Way in the sunlight
Set up a hammock where wind blows
Warmly carrying this tune

Oooh-oooh oooh-ooh-ooh ooooooh-oooh ooooh

These alabaster walls will quake and crumble down
But I'll follow you to where freedom abounds

Oooh-oooh oooh-ooh-ooh ooooooh-oooh ooooh
