lyrics
I saw my old home
Flamed with light
But, there was a devil-man
Come to rip at my sight
He haunted my side
And I quivered in fright
‘Til I broke from the dream
And awoke in the night
To the sea
All things remembered,
Considered in mind
I carry with me,
All boxed-up and twined
But, Lord knows, I'm aching
For a just sliver of time
When I can lay it all down
And leave Glory behind;
Leave the casket of photographs,
Bent, grayed, and riven;
Leave the pendants and sea-glass;
Leave all things forgiven
“Don’t make me mean,”
I prayed from the bow,
“Don’t make me fight it
For the chains will come down,
I don’t want to be mean,
I don’t want to be lonely,”
A warmth crept in quietly
As the tears gave out slowly
“Don’t make me mean,
And don’t let me die,”
I raised up my fist,
But the wind cut my pride
So, I held up that box
And my hands let go slowly
“Don’t let me be mean,”
As I threw it all in
To the sea
