Higher State

With eyelids heavy as stone Soon they set in quietly behind the sea I lay them tenderly back Water cannot wash away your visage We go higher when we fall And we slowly conquer it all We go wider in the dark And we face our fallen stars With heavier eyelids than stone Any glimpse of southern lights complete out of sight I ease myself into sleep Water cannot wash away our sorrows We go higher when we fall And we slowly conquer it all We go wider in the dark And we face our fallen stars
