The Breakers from Heavy Summer by Ned Roberts

Should I lie between the breakers
Or lift myself from the sea bed?
Should my nights just brace for speaking
Or keep their stillnesses unsaid?

I’m on the right side of the mountain
The clouds trip me from below
Let me loose, let me linger
See the seasons come and go

I don’t want to come back down
Lie with me ‘til the stars fade out

In the early stretch of morning
You cannot stay, I know I know
Time shifting through old patterns
There’s no resolving, no repose

I don’t want to come back down
Lie with me ‘til the stars fade out

Don’t ride the rails without me
I’m waiting on the midnight train
The calm, the quiet astound me
All in the temper of a day

Near the ancient stubborn stone
Just beyond Lissos bay
I carried you past the headland
We felt the centuries fall away

Don’t ride the rails without me
I’m lost on the midnight train
The calm, the quiet astound me
All in the temper of a day
