In the burning daze
Of unnatural light
I took a long drive
Into the evening

On the barracks road
Past the generals' eyes
Down to the seawall
Where the waves stand by

The enormous lull
Then a roar in the sky
And then the searchlights
Over the airfield

And over the ocean winging low
I saw the first wave
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net |]
And the flares that fall
Like fireflies on the islands

In the boom and swell
From the waves to the heights
Reverberations
Of our old lives

Like a golden bell
That would ring through the night
And then the front moves
And we raise our eyes
In the silence of the islands
