My Beaches Are Low

Arms stretched into the shadows beyond my glade
To reach new abodes as my pastures begin to fade

Longing tides and my beaches are low
Longing tides and my beaches are low

Arms stretched into the darkness beyond my walls
For something to cling to as brick after brick dissolves
Your touch is the thread and the nightly sphere its gleaming blade
I'd stand ground in pride like a titan, but I'm too afraid

Longing tides and my beaches are low
Longing tides and my beaches are low
Longing tides and my beaches are low

Will the creaking of our fetters
One day drown the city alarm
Will the stars turn out to be letters
Spelling out a call to arms
And will I dare to leave your arms again

Longing tides and my beaches are low...
