Not Averse
The heart trips and is under way
A harbour adorned with lights
Shoeless feet and unsteady ground
If I close my eyes I still see
A harbour adorned with lights
On the festival of Ferragosto
If I close my eyes I still see
Fireworks like a Pollock painting
On the festival of Ferragosto
Years from that night
Fireworks like a Pollock painting
As the thunderstorm struck the sea
Years from that night
On a promontory we watched
As the thunderstorm struck the sea
The shock of a constellation lost
On a promontory we watched
And the night stared back
The shock of a constellation lost
We navigate by auspice
And the night stared back
Perseid gleams between the stars
We navigate by auspice
The fire which leapt over us
Perseid gleams between the stars
Like seeing a humpback breach
The fire which leapt over us
The ocean rolling beneath us
Like seeing a humpback breach
Great Skellig slate grey and wet
The ocean rolling beneath us
Your tears mingling with the rain
Great Skellig slate grey and wet
Gazing from a clifftop grave
Your tears mingling with the rain
Could I foretell the future
Gazing from a clifftop grave
Curved ache of a clear horizon
Could I foretell the future
The wake of light on water
Curved ache of a clear horizon
You hold your hand in mine
The wake of light on water
Whales singing the day in
You hold your hand in mine
Shoeless feet and unsteady ground
Whales singing the day in
The heart trips and is under way
