Lonely in the red, blazing sun,
Waiting for the moonlight to come,
Kneeling in the sand, all undone.

Lovely fool, I can see you crying,
All your tears are mine.

Pearls from pebbles form,
Take your time, oyster in the sand,
Let the seed be sown, it will rise,
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade.

Slowly souls are polished to white,
Slowly darkness gives way to light,
Slowly patience harvests the night.

Sunburnt saint, take my benediction,
Bless the sea again.

Pearls from pebbles form,
Take your time, oyster in the sand,
Let the seed be sown, it will rise,
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade, parade.
