Blackwater Lyrics
I hold you in
A sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Open violence
I see no sign
I see no place I've loved
Depending on the signs
To find the road
Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again
I walk with you
But sleep beside her
The summer came and went
It passed us over
I see her cry
I see the face I have loved
Depending on the blind
To find the road
Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the morning
For the land that I long to see again
A sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Open violence
I see no sign
I see no place I've loved
Depending on the signs
To find the road
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again
But sleep beside her
The summer came and went
It passed us over
I see the face I have loved
Depending on the blind
To find the road
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the morning
For the land that I long to see again

One of the most wistful and beautiful songs I know of. It feels like resignation, submission to the inevitable, as prepared for death, but with peace, joy, and reverence. A homecoming, which is how I like to view my own death.
