Godrevy Point

Ten miles I walked today along the shore

I saw your ghost again, a season end, and the birds gather to go

And I lay down on the top of a cliff

Confessed my sins into the wind

And the sky lay a feather in my mouth

In my mouth, oh Lord

And, good Lord, it was a beautiful day

For untangling, unravelling my heavy heart away

To forgive and forget myself

And my enemies

My bruises washed away

Today was the day I first said I belong

Belong

Here in the ghost region

All alone upon the shore

This changing line between land and sea

Or between a ceasefire and a war

And down by the foot of the cliffs

Where I gathered shells

And watched the swell blossom up round my feet

I saw the ribcage of some wreck on the rocks

Oh, what a tragic cost

For getting lost

When you just can't find a light through this fog

But today was the day I first said I belong

Belong

Here in the ghost region

All alone upon the shore

This changing line between land and sea

Or between a ceasefire and a war

Between a ceasefire and a war

For at this time malignity ceases

And the devils themselves are at peace

For this time is perceptible to man

By a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul
