The Light And The Sea Lyrics

Dar Williams The Light And The Sea

Sitting 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
As my shepherd fallen rise
I could turn and lift my eyes
To the light that distant light
There will always be
The light and the sea
Rolling sea…the light and me
And as the days rolled by I turned my wheel toward 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
Because it’s fate that I should fail
There is a light…there is a light
There will always be the light and the sea
The rolling sea…the light and me
And it all comes down…down to me
To feel the presence of my soul
Amid the torrents and the cold
Of the sea..
And there will always be the light and the sea
The rolling sea…the light and me
The light and me
