"What Now" lyrics

"What Now"

I came to the sea older than I was before
Looking for a love that may not come again
I came through the clouds
On a pair of melting wings
Much too late, tired and falling

There was no moon at all in the sky tonight
Sometimes the moon has no strength to shine her light
She falls into the sea and lays her secrets there
But only for a while, she's just stalling

Now I called to the sea and I said, "Here I am"
Hour after hour loud as I can
I said, "Tell me, tell me, tell me old friend
Where to? What next? What now
Where to? What next? What now"

Take me to the sea of things that are no more
Wake me tenderly from all my dreams
Sing me lullabies from the ocean floor
Far away, far below, and falling
Far away, far below, and falling
Far away, far below, and falling
Far away, far below, and falling
Far away, far below, and falling
Far away, far below, and falling
