Cedar Island

It dawns on you sometimes
A text beneath the lines
A murmur of the past
That wasn't meant to last

Keeled over by the days
Nurturing all the strays
Some guide on how to try
The distance till you die

A finger shows the way
The price you have to pay
The shelter from the rain
That elevates the pain

Keeled over by the days
Nurturing all the strays
Some guide on how to try
The distance till you die

The hand of the land
The foot of the sky
The radar of ages
The cedar of sages

The nest to the vulture
The pest to the culture
The index on the map
The bridge over the gap

A finger shows the way
The price you have to pay
The shelter from the rain
That elevates the pain

Keeled over by the days
Nurturing all the strays
Some guide on how to try
The distance till you die

The hand of the land
The foot of the sky
The radar of ages
The cedar of sages

The nest to the vulture
The pest to the culture
The index on the map
The bridge over the gap

It dawns on you sometimes
A text beneath the lines
A murmur of the past
That wasn't meant to last
