lyrics

A Sense Of Shelter

There's an overcast sky and a rising tide
And it crosses our hearts like some great divide
Follow your instincts down to the sea
Water cold and clear as night
Casting the nets underneath to the silence out of sight

For ten thousand years we've been watching it smoulder
Like some phoenix preparing to rise

Through the heat and the dust
Into black then to grey
To the secrets that lie in other mens eyes

A reason, a sense of shelter
A habit to dull all the pain
But memory and time will outlast us all
These are the things that remain

When that cold winter comes and love breaks your heart
We can put up those walls or risk being torn apart
Try to ignore those waves inside
That feel so wrong but you know are right
Blind to reason and blind to love
At the mercy of the night

For ten thousand years we've been watching it smoulder
Like some phoenix preparing to rise

Into days and then nights
Through the cold then to older
Discovering there is so much more

A reason, a sense of shelter
A habit to dull all the pain
But memory and time will outlast us all
These are the things that remain

Time after time
We still disregard
The feelings that spark and ignite you
And day after day
We live in the dark
And wait for someone to untie you

A reason, a sense of shelter
A habit to dull all the pain
But memory and time will outlast us all
These are the things that remain
