Originally written August 19, 1997 as "Harbour The Lifetime". Rewritten September 7, 2022

lyrics

Everyone is gone
They're only playing the tapes
They only had some plans
I see all the whitecaps
And old sort of ice trap
Everything that once was mine
Humming a strange rhyme

In the harbour they lost us
They only had some news
They only froze in place
It's lonely where the waves sleep
They only held on to that
Everything that once was mine
Hovering for lifetimes

Light from empty hollows
They landed soft on the swallow
Another time is creeping
To feel it all beginning
The silent end of living
Everything that once was mine
Hanging from terror lines
