[00:00.12]I heard your voice at midnight
[00:00.84]By the river shore
[00:01.29]I saw your child sleeping
[00:03.42]Behind an open door
[00:03.90]The moon was in the river
[00:04.53]Shining up from the floor
[00:06.33]And the fish swam like moonlight
[00:08.28]Through your child's closing door
[00:09.42]And morning is the long way home
[00:19.56]The fisherman was drowning
[00:20.13]By his broken heel
[00:20.55]His screams were tiny bubbles
[00:34.44]And his tongue made of steel
[00:34.98]When he died his teeth made stones
[00:35.64]For your lonely child to feel
[00:36.24]And his eyes like prayers were quiet
[00:40.62]When you heard his tongues of steel
[00:53.43]And morning is the long way home
[00:59.55]The ghost of ghosts was passing
[01:00.18]And the grasses waved like hair
[01:10.56]I Knew I'd die forgotten
[01:13.47]I'm the whisper of your care
[01:14.01]The water would surround me
[01:31.20]And my body would despair
[01:52.59]But my heart would understand
[01:53.25]The door that's closing there
[02:21.66]And morning is the long way home

I heard your voice at midnight
By the river shore
I saw your child sleeping
Behind an open door
The moon was in the river
Shining up from the floor
And the fish swam like moonlight
Through your child's closing door
And morning is the long way home
The fisherman was drowning
By his broken heel
His screams were tiny bubbles
And his tongue made of steel
When he died his teeth made stones
For your lonely child to feel
And his eyes like prayers were quiet
When you heard his tongues of steel
And morning is the long way home
The ghost of ghosts was passing
And the grasses waved like hair
I Knew I'd die forgotten
I'm the whisper of your care
The water would surround me
And my body would despair
But my heart would understand
The door that's closing there
And morning is the long way home
