[00:02.00]Shearwater - An Insular Life
[00:04.00]
[00:37.43]A calm then the roaring wall of the eye
[00:44.95]as we sailed to the world from an insular life
[00:52.65]from the boughs that had sheltered us all of our lives
[01:00.76]from the sun's red blooming
[01:09.15]With a shadow on every life
[01:15.63]and we laid in the dark
[01:18.99]through the thundering nights
[01:23.70]and awoke to an ocean of shimmering white
[01:31.56]where the hull scrapes on the silent ice
[01:38.35]and the gulls on the frozen ropes
[02:20.75]Oh lights on the floor
[02:23.86]let the audience rise
[02:28.84]let them file through the halls
[02:31.94]still assured in their lives
[02:36.89]until the sky shudders open
[02:40.05]impossibly wide
[02:44.65]and the room glows in the sudden light
[02:51.94]and they are gone
[02:53.90]they are gone for life
