All These Nights

Here by the ocean where the water meets the coast
She awaits
Told that he'd be gone, didn't mention how long
She'd have to stare back at the Sun

And the earth that keeps on spinning
A finger that keeps weaving
All these nights, spent alone

He, by the great wall, for his men, for his pride
He fights
Lost all he could claim, nothing left now but his name
Against the winds, he drifts away

And the earth that keeps on spinning
His tears that keep on rolling
All the evenings far from home

The child lost in between, her sorrow and his dreams
He sails
He's met with every stranger
Always seeking the same answers
Something to hold, something to keep

For the earth to keep on spinning, for an end to his longing
All these nights lost alone
