Lyric

Moonlight trembles on the water Harbor bells are fading low Untie the rope without a word now No one else needs to know Leave the lantern on the landing Leave the door without a key Take your place across from me now Push the boat into the sea

No compass No northern star Let the black tide choose how far

Row me out Past the lights along the shore Row me out Until we cannot see them anymore Don't ask where Don't ask why Keep your eyes upon the sky Row me out And don't look back tonight

Your face is hidden in the shadows Silver water fills your eyes Every stroke becomes a heartbeat Every wave erases time Far behind us, windows flicker One by one, they disappear There are words we could have spoken But I didn't bring them here

No promise No final prayer Only salt upon the air

Row me out Past the lights along the shore Row me out Until we cannot see them anymore Don't ask where Don't ask why Keep your eyes upon the sky Row me out And don't look back tonight

If the morning finds us drifting Let it find us far from land If the wind should call our names out Let it vanish where we stand If you wonder what we're leaving Keep the question in your heart Somewhere between here and nowhere We became what we are

Row me out Where the shoreline has no name Row me out Where no one knows from where we came Don't ask when Don't ask where There is nothing waiting there Row me out Beyond the reach of light Row me out Past the last familiar sound Row me out Where the moon can't track us down No goodbye No return Let the distant harbor burn Row me out And don't look back tonight

The shore is gone The stars are still Keep rowing
