Yeah father when can I touch the life within
Yeah when the softness begins to move and stir
Yeah father when the wind is blowing ice bound
Yeah when the light comes, yeah when the night leaves.
Yeah father when for I cannot see the ship masts
Yeah when the moon breaks yeah when the stars
Ah Father why should I wait my hands are frozen
Yeah when thy feet are yeah when thy eyes
Father, Father, the waves are blowing higher
Yeah when they cover thee when the morning comes
Father Father the foam is crystal fragments
Yeah the water stiffens as it foams
Father Father bring the morning to me
The motion of the vortex calls to me my name
Yeah, when the lights are quenched in icy water
Yeah when the night has lost its spark of flame
Father Father take me where you’re going
Nay where I go your feet may never come.
Yeah when I go your feet will surely come
