Lyrics: Emily Clibourn
Music: Emily Clibourn
My hands were empty but my heart was full
I was holding onto something but I hardly even know
I took that train from the onsen in Japan
To the sea where the hawks fly right over my head
The sea is on fire and the drums they start
To burn away all the walls in my heart
And the weight fades away
Away
Away
Away
Away
I saw the men who were fishing for their dinner that night
As I walked the isle to get to the lighthouse
And when I did I could see off to the other side
And I felt as expansive as the light
I'm feeling at home in different places
Feeling at one with different faces
And the weight fades away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Away
Away
There was magic in that salty sea
Maybe the magic was that I decided I could be free
When I open my eyes and decide to see
What is standing right in front of me
Away
Away
Away
Away
