The Waves At Night - Phosphorescent

Where are we, and where do we

And where will we finally

Trade our teeth for rays for wheat

To lay and sleep underneath

Oh love, too eager to cross

Oh love, we meet and you pause

Oh love, too eager to cross

You see what you’ve lost?

The crazy streets, amazing grief

The taste of sweet offerings

The blazing heat, the naked beasts

Great barrier reefs, all for thee

The waves at night, all brave and bright

The dance hall lights, all your life

To lay and weep, to trade our teeth

To aim and achieve grace and peace
