"Furthest Shore" lyrics

"Furthest Shore"

I've seen the furthest of the shore
I felt the deepest of the sea
Carried away that fateful day
My mother calling after me
Heard my mother calling after me

The rope released when lightning shone
From all that I had ever known
Out on the waters one alone
Oh how the waters they had grown

The night it faded into day
The sky and sea seemed without end
For loving mother I did pray
I heard her strength inside the wind

And with the wind there came a ship
Like nothing I had ever seen
'Cept for the lady carved on the bow
Like my mother so she seemed
And the faces they were many
Smooth and dark with eyes that showed
They'd take me in and care for me
And raise me as though I's their own

I've heard the furthest of the shore
I've felt the deepest of the sea
Seems everywhere I go is there
The songs my mother sang to me

"Deeper than the sea"
