I had a hurt that came to me
It came like a roaring flower
It spoke of love's inconstancy
It spoke of love's great power
It let the yelp of timeless plea
That fall like the passing hour
No I said stop in your tracks
Don't fight in the burning tower
More shall calm the raging sea
More shall charge than cower
For hearts are bold on the aging quay
That waits like the rocks turned sour
And salt and kelp flow in my mouth
My eyes they see sea foam
Caught between the north and south
No direction have I home
The love that was strong did turn the key
To unlock the door of the prison
And I saw the prisoner mad to be free
And let him have his freedom
Oh I spent ten years a wandering on
Where the voice of life grew faint
And I heard my heart that called me on
To the canvass I should paint
And love like a lion did roar on
Down the darkened ruins of time
I leant upon the turnstile gate
And drifted to the tower
