Lyrics
There is no one who will take me by that shore
Expresses a longing for someone to accompany the speaker to a specific shore.
Close to the smoke, far from the fires of your harbor

But if I am awake this time I'll know

Oh you can take away the divine my dear

And comb your hair

But the waves rushing down
