Leeward Side

And I have bound myself to your bearings

My love is a nesting bird

Lodged in the breast of her

Lace up your boots tied to the jagged line

Of a million different lives

Under the leeward side

Cause I want to be someone

Worthy of your conversation

There's madness in the moonless night

So shake off your leeward side

And everything that I did or did not do

In the miniature of my life

Has a lineage back to you

And some will sit on their hands

To spite their feet

But one day I know I'll see

You dancing away from me

Cause I want to be someone

Worthy of your conversation

There's madness in the moonless night

So shake off your leeward side

We all want to be someone

In the miniature of your life

The madness in a wounded sky

So shake of your salvation

You will want more

You will want more

You will want more

Than I can offer you

I bear you from my shore

But to my skin

And to my bones

Down to my very core

The call you'll heed is one

I will follow

One day you will unfold

And fall into the untold

And one day you'll long to be

Dancing away from me

But under the hollow sky

Past where the cells divide

And until the day I die

I'll be your leeward side
