Silent Passage

Before the war, I had no need for traveling

Indeed, I do not know what made it so important to leave

And after all this time, I found that I'm avoiding thee

For nothing more or less then fear

Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear

Although it's only coming home that brings you near

Master Dawn, my brother is a sailor

Upon this ship of life, we are the masts, the sails, and the wind

And you can understand, we need a hand to guide us in

So many claim to be the one

But like a shadow on the sun, they fade and spin

And we are scattered on the ocean once again

Before the war, I had no need for traveling

Indeed, I do not know what made it so important to leave

And after all this time, I found that I'm avoiding thee

For nothing more or less then fear

Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear

Although it's only coming home that brings you near

Although it's only coming home that brings a tear
