Dar Williams - The Light & The Sea lyrics

Setting out upon the waves In darkness and upheaval I was told that I alone Would not know good and evil Oh, but in time But oh, in time It came to me that As my ship would fall and rise I could turn and lift my eyes To the light, a distant light And there will always be The light and the sea The roiling sea, the light and me And as the days went by I turned my wheel towards the thunder Taking on a challenge That I knew could take me under Oh, and it took me down And oh, it took me down And It came to me As I cursed the stem and sail And called it fate that I should fail There is a light, there is a light And there will always be The light and the sea The roiling sea, the light and me And it all comes down, down to me To feel the presence of my soul Amidst the torrents and the cold Of the sea And there will always be The light and the sea The roiling sea, the light and me
