"Your Glow" lyrics

You lost your feeling for the waves before we ran aground
And you lost thirteen men to the waves, we watched them all go down
Find you babbling in the sand there trying to find the thread
Spend an hour or so beside you, cradling your head

It's time for you to go
But you never lost your glow

You lost a lot of sleep before the fever broke
And you found a kingdom by the fire rising in the smoke
Leave you here, or let the ocean claim you for its own?
Keep you here, or tithe you to the tides to die here all alone?

Breathing through your visions, soft and slow
You never lost your glow

Your light, your signal, fifteen did respond
Just me left now, and you about to learn what lies beyond

When we wake up from the big dreams of empires in the surf
If there's nothing left but water, then let water be enough
Thirteen gone, one vanished, you well on your way
Adrift for half your life, headed home today

Be still and know
You never lost your glow
