Lyrics
I came north for the quiet And found the opposite of rest A sky that won’t commit to anything A clock that’s lost its mark. They say the boats still leave at dawn But dawn won’t quite arrive I lie awake and listen To the harbor hold its breath outside There’s no edge to lie down in No door the day walks out of I’m awake at the hour That isn’t an hour at all The water keeps a time The clocks here won't believe Three in the morning, bright as day And nothing wants to end A gull drifts over the harbor like it's noon I walk because the bed forgot How to hold me still There's someone at the end of the pier Facing the water as if she's waiting too There’s no edge to fall asleep in No door the night walks out of I’m awake at the hour That isn’t mine at all Maybe this is what they meant By the end of the world Not fire falling Not water rising Just light that never lowers Just a town that keeps me standing Where the sea forgets the hour Watching for a face I almost recognize There’s no edge to disappear in No door this town walks out of I’m awake at the hour That isn’t true at all Lyrics: Cheshirah
