Cassette Faultline 24 (Tide Returning)

[Intro] There is an ocean in the mountain There is a thunder in the sand There are creatures made of silence Moving underneath the land [Verse] I climbed the mountain in the evening With a compass made of bone Every path became a question Every answer turned to stone [Verse] There were oceans hanging overhead Their waves suspended in the sky There were silver fish like comets Swimming through the mountainside [Rise] Every stone became a memory Every wave a thing to learn [Pre-Chorus] I could hear the mountains dreaming I could feel the planets turn [Chorus] And I am the shore and the tide returning I am the depth and the drifting foam I have travelled beyond the horizon Only to find that the deep is home [Verse] A forest grew across the ocean Its branches reaching toward the floor Transparent roots descended upward Opening where there were no doors [Verse] Black flowers drifted through the water Their petals shining like the dawn They unfolded into little planets When the tide began to turn [Rise] It held fragments of the ocean In the chambers of its sides [Pre-Chorus] I could hear the mountains dreaming I could feel the planets turn [Chorus] And I am the shore and the tide returning I am the depth and the drifting foam I have travelled beyond the horizon Only to find that the deep is home [Bridge] What is a mountain but a wave That learned to hold its shape What is an ocean but a mountain That forgot how to remain [Rise] I placed my hand upon the stone It was warmer than my skin [Pre-Chorus] I could hear the mountains dreaming I could feel the planets turn [Chorus] And I am the shore and the tide returning I am the depth and the drifting foam I have travelled beyond the horizon Only to find that the deep is home [Break] Somewhere in the darkness Where the oldest currents roam The mountain dreams of water And the water dreams of home [Chorus] And I am the shore and the tide returning I am the depth and the drifting foam I have travelled beyond the horizon Only to find that the deep is home
