Benediction Lyrics

Shadows of clouds on the mountains
Shadows of clouds on the pines
Sun stroked waves forward faced sudden grey
Memory chases behind
Island beguiling and nameless
Small kayak rocked in the wake
At times unknown grievous and broken
The only path left to make
Rain like a blessing after the drought
Benediction falling slaking parched doubt
Brave sail holds the horizon Bold bird it cleaves it in two
Silhouettes bent on the starboard
A westerly list renewed
Simple as running a foot race
Complex as the colour of sky
Questions no answers no ending
Why does it help to cry
Shadows of clouds on the mountains
Shadows of clouds on the pines
Sun stroked waves forward face sudden grey
Memory chases behind
