I'm staring out towards a little island
Smothered in pine
Road of muddy clay, covered in puddles
Long empty line
Rain has come and gone
From where I'm standing
The light upon the sea
Looks more like diamonds
If I pause here
One second becomes an hour
The sun could rise and fall
Before I know how long I'd spent
Waiting on a birdsong
In Port Levy
I followed my gut to find the road here
Windy and wild
Many things were wrong when I arrived
Not that I mind
Water in the bay is slow and steady
The tussock on the hills
Gracefully bending
If I pause here
One second becomes an hour
The sun could rise and fall
Before I know how long I'd spent
Waiting on a birdsong
In Port Levy
What ever I was seeking
It has found me
Came on the wind
Wherever I may turn
I know its name now
The sediment beneath the settled water
If I pause here
One second becomes an hour
The sun could rise and fall
Before I know how long I'd spent
Waiting on a birdsong
In Port Levy
If I pause here
One second becomes an hour
The sun could rise and fall
Before I know how long I'd spent
Waiting on a birdsong
In Port Levy
