Against the Ebb

There is no greater beauty to behold

 In heaven, nor on earth

Than I see, as I gaze

As I fall, into the depths

Of your eyes

Shades of blue

That colour my soul

And rouse me from my sleep

Have me running against the ebb

And rolling back to sea

And oh, how your eyes

Have my heart soaring

Setting sail

Across the evening sky

Where the moon

Once shone so bold

Yet left all below

Awash, in silvered cold

Now put to shame

Hides in the shadows

The night my empty garden

Already full

With thee
