The Night We First Sailed Away Lyrics

In the stars was the song of the hunter

And your voice spoke like wind in the caves

We lay down in our darkness remembering

Like the night when we first sailed away

We were miles in the sky that we covered

We were thoughts like the grain of the wood

Being arteries grown from the mother

Oh, our loving was meant to be good

And though they say that the ape won't evolve to a state of grace

We will laugh in his face

And this cage that revolves may dissolve in a rage of tears

Still our purpose is clear

Oh, the bells on the sea cliffs are ringing

And like ghosts we will rise from our clay

On the ocean I still hear the singing

Like the night when we first sailed away

And though it's said that we've lost or exhausted our earthly food

Oh, our love is not moved

Be it angels or devils that spin in the final tale

You and I haven't failed

You are Eve, you are Eve in the garden

In your kiss is the birth of my day

I won't believe that it's not as we gave it

In the night when we first sailed away
