ivory shoals


Gliding across the sea, Gazing up to the heavens This is all I see The final resting place Sinking into the ivory lace The shoals, the stepping stones Call to me. Guide my soul to you, to My final resting pace, and Lull me tenderly to sleep There beneath the darkest deep Kiss my eyes, at peace Lay my weary heart to rest, and feast Upon the moth-eaten memories And pie-crust promises Bring your ivory shoals Ever closer to me Carry my soul home at last The light on the water glistens For all who have seen must know That through this light All souls pass.
