The Last Light
You packed your bags
I wish I'd known
I'd have told you all you took was not your own
You closed the door
And walked unseen
To the black ship in the harbor in a dream
You paid the fare
The fare was high
It was everything beneath the sky
You stepped on board
I was ashore
I was listening for your key inside the door
But the sun shines too in memory
The night is held away
And the sea will bring you back to me
If only for the day
I will meet you on the lee shore, son
We'll speak and wend our way
Before your ship returns for you
In the last light of the day
Your mom, she works
She naps and whiles
She is afraid she will betray you with a smile
In the day
She knows you're gone
But the moonlight casts your shadow on the lawn
I like to think
You're lost at sea
Searching for your mom and me
I man the beach
Beneath the caves
Searching for your sail
Above the waves
But the sun shines too in memory
The night is held away
And the sea will bring you back to me
If only for the day
I will meet you on the lee shore, son
We'll speak and wend our way
Before your ship returns for you
In the last light of the day
In the last light of the day
In the last light of the day
I wish I'd known
I'd have told you all you took was not your own
You closed the door
And walked unseen
To the black ship in the harbor in a dream
You paid the fare
The fare was high
It was everything beneath the sky
You stepped on board
I was ashore
I was listening for your key inside the door
But the sun shines too in memory
The night is held away
And the sea will bring you back to me
If only for the day
I will meet you on the lee shore, son
We'll speak and wend our way
Before your ship returns for you
In the last light of the day
Your mom, she works
She naps and whiles
She is afraid she will betray you with a smile
In the day
She knows you're gone
But the moonlight casts your shadow on the lawn
I like to think
You're lost at sea
Searching for your mom and me
I man the beach
Beneath the caves
Searching for your sail
Above the waves
But the sun shines too in memory
The night is held away
And the sea will bring you back to me
If only for the day
I will meet you on the lee shore, son
We'll speak and wend our way
Before your ship returns for you
In the last light of the day
In the last light of the day
In the last light of the day
