about

This song was an experiment with a twelve string guitar that only had ten strings on it and some elemental and psychological themes adapted from a story about a wooden lighthouse.

lyrics

My father telling me
We lost a son to the sea
His eyes gone totally green
Lost him to the weight of the sea
Lost him
To the wait and see

Black spot in me and thee
Black as the heart of the smoking city
Black as the deep where the angler fish sees
Under miles of the weight of the sea
Hiding
Wait and see

On the still rock she sways
The light from her gaze
Showing the depth of the dark
And the two men who wait
For the storm to abate
Rocking within her arms
As the still waters swell

So we'll find ourselves in other worlds
Far higher, far deeper than our lungs will allow
We'll climb and we won't know if it's up or down
All the time the elements crashing around
