Tim Moore - The Night We First Sailed Away Lyrics
In the stars was the song of the hunterAnd your voice spoke like wind in the cavesWe lay down in our darkness rememberingLike the night when we first sailed awayWe were miles in the sky that we coveredWe were thoughts like the grain of the woodBeing arteries grown from the motherOh, our loving was meant to be goodAnd though they say that the ape won't evolve to a state of graceWe will laugh in his faceAnd this cage that revolves may dissolve in a rage of tearsStill our purpose is clearOh, the bells on the sea cliffs are ringingAnd like ghosts we will rise from our clayOn the ocean I still hear the singingLike the night when we first sailed awayAnd though it's said that we've lost or exhausted our earthly foodOh, our love is not movedBe it angels or devils that spin in the final taleYou and I haven't failedYou are Eve, you are Eve in the gardenIn your kiss is the birth of my dayI won't believe that it's not as we gave itIn the night when we first sailed away
