lyrics

How I wish I could share this with you now,
I was drawn in by a fresh mist that was coming down,
Caught up in the tide as it washed up the strand,
And I could’ve walked into that horizon,
I could have drowned in it at my own hand,

I saw the ground slip from underneath my feet,
Fell back against the Stacks and,
It grounded me,
Dragged back, I am a stone in this western pool,
And there’s something about these waters;
They are old and new and comfortless and cool,

And though I am at home,
It’s like I’m seeing it for the first time,
It is like I’m seeing it for the first time,
It is like I’m seeing it for the first time,
And though I am at home,
I’d rather be here for the first time,
I would rather be here for the first time,
Than be in this familiar uncertainty.

Now I know the roads, I know the names of all the places,
I know the faces behind the doors,
But I cannot decipher in which direction,
To turn - oh I don’t know this house anymore!

And though I am at home,
It’s like I’m seeing it for the first time,
It is like I’m seeing it for the first time,
It is like I’m seeing it for the first time,
And though I am at home,
I’d rather be here for the first time,
I would rather be here for the first time,
Than be in this familiar uncertainty.

How I wish I could share this with you now,
I was drawn in by a fresh mist that was coming down,
Dragged back, I am a stone in this western pool,
And there’s something about these waters;
They are old and new and comfortless and cool,

You know there’s something about these waters;
They are old and new and comfortless and cool.
