See me waving my handkerchief on the shore   see my arm raised high      see that ship sail off   with its sails aloft   and see me dry my eyes   and see more   salty tears flow   as my house is blown wide   and see me watch the waves roll in from somewhere    see me squint my eyes   see me learn to live without my loved ones   see me scan the skys   and see   the flock of birds goodbye   and turn to go inside   but I feel you    on my neck      you are a bow of fire      see me reach up   see me touch my neck   see my fingers recoil   see the life come into my body   see me living wide   and see me look from side to side   and tiptoe in your light   see me look at you and lose my sight   and while my eyes burned I saw it      oh no      here comes a black ship   rising under red sail   see it fill the sky   see it bellow up   see the their gleaming eyes   hear their scary trumpets on      see me run in terror for the mountain   see me scramble high   and see me burned and blind   and all hopeless and barren   see me sprawled out    see me crawl and whine   see me search for signs   and I see you weird and high      you are a bow    are a bow of fire   you are a bow of fire   you are a bow
