The Harrowed and the Haunted Lyrics
Lay out the bowline
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the ring
Will I be so brave?
We, beloved of the springtime
We were lions to the light
All the night
Well, I always miss-remember
How we calmed our kisses bright
Will I make this right?
This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive
So lay out the bowline
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will roam and I will ramble
'Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen days
This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go till I arrive
This is what you wanted
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Tether and belay
Haul away
There is amber in the embers
There are riches on the ring
Will I be so brave?
We were lions to the light
All the night
Well, I always miss-remember
How we calmed our kisses bright
Will I make this right?
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go until I arrive
Feather and belay
You boys haul away
I will roam and I will ramble
'Till my heart no longer craves
Our brazen days
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time
Still miles to go till I arrive
I'm harrowed and I'm haunted
Haunted by the light
Will you be there waiting?
Or is your heartbeat fading?
Fading from the time

what a beautiful, evocative song..."I will roam and I will ramble, until my heart no longer craves, our brazen days"......a lover left behind perhaps?
