lyrics

Land, ho
Is what you hope for
Sickness unto health
Poverty to wealth

Oh, but I -
I'll keep all my sea-sick ways
The land, I feel no lack
The sea, it wants me back

Far below the creature groans

Far, the East
and West, it grows farther
We'll sing above the deep
Gone away, the songs of the mountains
Lean in, and hear, and sleep

Long roads have weakened those eyes
Head hanging in the clouds
Knees creaking on the ground
Clean and cracked and broken and blind are we
Foggy and wrinkled mirror, the vast ocean be

The wailing sea, a crooked beam

Far, the East
and West, it grows farther
We'll sing above the deep
Gone away, the songs of the mountains
Lean in, and hear, and sleep
