lyrics

The night, it comes upon me
Only me in winter’s keeping
Sorrow is as sorrow always does

A cool and misty mooring
My ship is laid to sleeping
At rest against the sand of stars above

Oh, I know the truth confuses
Oh, in the cover of darkness, we retreat

A soul of weary travel
And, a smile of deep misgiving
I've taken more than she could ever give

Her boards are near to swollen
And, every nail is rusting
That part of her must die so we may live

Oh, I know the truth confuses
Oh, in the cover of darkness, we retreat

I lay my last beside her
And, she's cool against my body
Silent, but the rude and whispery wind

Although I know the answer
Still, I ask to be forgiven
I listen, but the answer's never clear

Oh, I know the truth confuses
Oh, in the cover of darkness, we retreat

I know the truth...
I know the truth...

“There's no escaping just how good this album is”
Mike Alexander, New Zealand Herald
