Across A Chasm
I sang across a chasm
I searched far and wide
My song drifts like a river
Flowing drunk as wine.
Grandfather was a sailor
His fortune did find.
Though in my way
It's well understood
That fortune should favor the few
We knew in our day
That all else here would do
We knew that we'd never collide
We knew that we'd never collide.
Heavy as the midnight
Oil he had burned
Burdened after daylight
Toil he had learned.
He sang across a chasm
To another time
So he could lose his burden
To the other side.
Though in my way
It's well understood
That fortune should favor the few
We knew in our day
That all else here would do
We knew that we'd never collide
We knew that we'd never collide.
I sang across a chasm
I searched far and wide
My song drifts like a river
Flowing drunk as wine
When I sang across a chasm
To another time.
I searched far and wide
My song drifts like a river
Flowing drunk as wine.
Grandfather was a sailor
His fortune did find.
Though in my way
It's well understood
That fortune should favor the few
We knew in our day
That all else here would do
We knew that we'd never collide
We knew that we'd never collide.
Heavy as the midnight
Oil he had burned
Burdened after daylight
Toil he had learned.
He sang across a chasm
To another time
So he could lose his burden
To the other side.
Though in my way
It's well understood
That fortune should favor the few
We knew in our day
That all else here would do
We knew that we'd never collide
We knew that we'd never collide.
I sang across a chasm
I searched far and wide
My song drifts like a river
Flowing drunk as wine
When I sang across a chasm
To another time.
