Call The Ships To Port lyrics
Song information
Artist: Covenant Album: Northern Light
Lyrics
A billion words ago The sailors disappeared A story for the children To rock them back to sleep
A million burning books Like torches in our hands A fabric of ideals To decorate our homes
A thousand generations The soil on which we walk A mountain of mistakes For us to climb for pleasure
A hundred clocks are ticking The line becomes a circle Spin the wheel of fortune Or learn to navigate
A choir full of longing Will call our ships to port The countless lonely voices Like whispers in the dark
A second of reflection can Take you to the moon The slightest hesitation can Bring you down in flames
A single spark of passion Can change a man forever A moment in a lifetime Is all it takes to break him
A fraction of a heartbeat Made us what we are A brother and a sister For better or for worse
A billion words ago They sang a song of leaving An echo from the chorus Will call them back again
A choir full of longing… Tonight we light the fires We call our ships to port Tonight we walk on water And tomorrow we'll be gone
