Sarabande's Story

歌詞

The storm when it came shook me clear to my keel I lost all direction and time I had no horizon, ran battered and blind And the whole of the world was the great wave behind And the wave rushing on me to climb And oh, the ocean is wide: Come wind and come weather, there's nowhere to hide And the ocean is wide I carried my friends as a boat does her own The three of us under the gale I held on with the strength of rope and of wood And human and little, they fought as they could With the tiller and shortened sail You pray for your own ones to weather the ride, but the ocean... By crest and by hollow, by dark and by day By buffet, by blow we were hurled For three days we drove on under staysail alone Till the storm left us still and alone in the dawn And bright calm to the edge of the world Chorus + Come calm or come storm, you're alone in the tide The little fish came down the bright, breathing sea From world's edge to world's edge they ran They divided behind me and joined at my bow And I on a silver thread, rudder to prow And all the world's ocean its span Chorus + The web of the world's in the sea by your side With the little ghost wind the blue follow-fish came Big and lovely, they danced in the foam Ah, we traveled companions all down the day Then as the breeze quickened, they were off on their way And I heeled in the good breeze for home Chorus + And the web of the world's in the sea by your side Chorus + Rise well, swim easy, wherever you bide For the ocean is wide
