About this song
You will stand on the rocks of Meletis, but the water will not learn your name. The current will bring you to her when she decides, and the tide will not reply. She is the sea, and the sea is patient.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] You will stand on the rocks of Meletis, counting hours. The water will not learn your name tonight. Tomorrow I will move the shoreline a hand's width. You will not notice. You will notice later. [Hook] I will be the tide. I will be the stars beneath. Bring your salt, your pearls. I will not reply. [Verse 2] You will pray in the present. I do not live there. You will ask for today. I will answer tomorrow. I will not send for you. The current will. You will be mid-prayer. Then you will be here. [Hook] I will be the tide. I will be the stars beneath. Bring your salt, your pearls. I will not reply. [Turn] A thief will keep my bident a while. Nothing stolen from the sea will ever stay dry. Come down when you are ready. Or do not. The water will bring you anyway. [Hook] I will be the tide. I will be the stars beneath. Bring your salt, your pearls. I will not reply.
