The Bay At The Back Of The Ocean

Words by Seàn Dagan Wood
Music by Pippa Andrew


Angel with a fire in your skin
and ribbons of light curling from your wings,
burn through the night, singing your dreams
as wanderers listen for your hymns.

You paint the sky with a flick of your eyes,
their gold and white set like a bite.
You sculpt the land with a stroke of your hand
and draw the sea like silk over sand.

Now show me how to dance,
show me how to dance.

I climbed the mountain where I heard you were crowned,
I ran through the forest where your footprints were found,
I searched the city where they say you were seen,
I walked to the village where they thought you might be.

And at the bay at the back of the ocean
on an island of purple stone,
I silently watched the motion
of the rolling orange sun.

The tide took my tired tension,
I gave my thoughts to the sky,
I forgot my searching,
I let go of my fight.

It was then your words were spoken
and there the truth was known,
because the door was open
and the voice was my own.
