The Light and the Sea

Dar Williams - The Light And The Sea
Setting out upon the waves in darkness and upheaval

I was told that I alone would not know good and evil

Oh but in time

But oh in time

It came to me

That as my ship would fall and rise

I could turn and lift my eyes

To the light, a distant light

And will there always be

The light and the sea,

The roiling sea, the light and me.

And as the days went by I turned my wheel towards the thunder

Taking on a challenge that I knew could take me under.

Oh, and it took me down

And oh it took me down

And it came to me

As I cursed the stem and sail

And called it fate that I should fail

There is a light

There is a light

And there will always be

The light and the sea,

The roiling sea, the light and me.

And it all comes down

Down to me

To feel the presence of my soul

Amidst the torrents and the cold

Of the sea.

And there will always be

The light and the sea,

The roiling sea, the light and me.

The light and me.
