What's that burning in the distance?

Either the Redsand Fort or a ship

Or my eyes are showing their age

See that line form 'cross the chalk stack insolent to history

As I am to these

Cracking 'cross my face

Wave after wave

The years through me falling

The way beneath my feet

Could just give without warning

That old mansion will keel to the tide in time

The line ever nears as it will

Everybody

And those it reached first

We keep alive

In the gleaning of thеir yield

By the light of the wax of thеir land

And wave after wave

The years through us falling

The current at our feet can just take without warning

That old buoy will sever from the line

In time the tide

Everclears

As it will do

For me

Wave after wave

I dive under today's turbulence

Hush

The sea was too dangerous to swim today

And driving home to feed the boys

The heavens opened 'cross the kellet gut

And I remembered a list I wrote

"Reasons to stay alive"

And cried for the distance between that page and where I am now

Rain dying out

The reasons they write themselves

Wave after wave

Foreland
