I'm staring out towards a little island Smothered in pine Road of muddy clay, covered in puddles Long empty line Rain has come and gone From where I'm standing The light upon the sea Looks more like diamonds If I pause here One second becomes an hour The sun could rise and fall Before I know how long I'd spent Waiting on a birdsong In Port Levy I followed my gut to find the road here Windy and wild Many things were wrong when I arrived Not that I mind Water in the bay is slow and steady The tussock on the hills Gracefully bending If I pause here One second becomes an hour The sun could rise and fall Before I know how long I'd spent Waiting on a birdsong In Port Levy What ever I was seeking It has found me Came on the wind Wherever I may turn I know its name now The sediment beneath the settled water If I pause here One second becomes an hour The sun could rise and fall Before I know how long I'd spent Waiting on a birdsong In Port Levy If I pause here One second becomes an hour The sun could rise and fall Before I know how long I'd spent Waiting on a birdsong In Port Levy
