Holding Back the Tide

She was crossing over oceans
With a ghost, travelling light
She was looking for a reason
And comfort in the night

Where did you go
And where are you running from?
What did you say?
And what song were you singing?

Pleading grace at the sky
A lonely cry
To the night
To the night

She is rolling, she is rolling
She is holding back the tide
Waiting for the light
She is rolling, she is rolling
She is holding back the tide
Waiting for the light
She is holding, holding time
But her lullaby gives no comfort to the night

She is leaving the shoreline
Cross a myriad of lines
And the ghost behind her shoulder
Like the hands of time

Where are you now?
And why are we hiding here?
Show me the light
Make us disappear

Pleading grace at the sky
Lonely cry
To the night
To the night

She is holding, she is holding
She is holding back the tide
Waiting for the light
She is holding, she is holding
She is holding back the tide
Running for her life
She is holding, holding time
She is holding, holding time
But her lullaby brings no comfort for the night
