Taking it in My body, give it away An empty space With nothing after all Yes! This is it! This is the ocean! My body, give it away Nothing to begin with And nothing after all (Rise and fall and rise and fall rise and fall) Time held me green and dying In the mercy of its means Though I sang in my chains like the sea Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea
