From a Distant Shore - Willard Grant Conspiracy

I landed here in country

With my nations guns and flags

I’ve been here three weeks now maybe more

Tomorrow they will ask us

To take that stand of trees

The fear I feel inside my chest

Is the same as my enemy’s

There is a stutter in my lungs

And a chatter in my breathing

I’m engaged to be married to the method of my leaving

I’m rarely found in situations that cause me to deliver

Tonight I’ll stay awake and write you

To keep me from the shivers

If you were a friend, I’d want to save you pain

If you were a lover, I’d do the same

If we were joined

I’d want to capture stars

Let them loose inside your chest

Forever keep you warm

Tomorrow I’ll meet my maker

My body broken on the shore

I’ll ask for my forgiveness and then for nothing more

Every night you lay awake for now and ever more

My breath will be the breeze you feel

From a distant shore

Give me hope give me light

Let the dawn follow night

I will stay awake until

There is nothing left to see
