The ships slips out from the grasp of the harbour  Out of its hold into the restless water  Silently, steadily, edging away  Silently, steadily, pulling away  I feel my heart swell, surge inside me  Rising and falling, waves that take me  Silently, steadily, onwards away  Slow-motion words, night glimmering blackness  Deep as the stars in the far-off darkness -  Lights caught in time, far far away  Bound to the earth, burnt through with fire  Loose on the water, moving through air  All traces pass sooner or later  Behind and beyond, far far away
