We searched all night
Through the spider lily and cherokee rose
Those flowers of death and flowers of hope
On the same dirt that they grow
And you pointed out
The sword of Perseus up in the north
And I sang of Carina's southernly course
And how they aim for us both
It was silent at midnight
Except for our steps
Out of time
You knew I's ahead then
I knew I was
Just a beat behind
And then we heard
the low groan
Across the hill
Where the tide
Holds sway
Even still
As dawn approached
We leaned on the other like they were a crutch
Stumbling down through coyote brush
As the coast came into view
The sound of the waves
Was thunder and violence, it rang in my head
But I didn't feel frightened, no I felt instead
A little nearer to you
The first hit of sun came
Right as our feet
Hit the sand
We stepped to the water
I held like a vise
To your hand
And so we stood
In the churning
Of the sea
And we were ready
For whatever
We'd receive
