An Eastern spell on the East coast
Then half a mile from the sea
Neither grey friar nor heaven
Could claim no mastery
I have often slept in a finer bed
Than that she shared with me
A peaceful believer
Waves warm and eager
An Eastern spell on the East coast
Come drag me down to the deep
Let the stones fall five fathoms
Pull the ground from under me
I have often slept in a quieter bed
Than that she shared with me
But the sea called to meet us
The beach is between us
And all this will pass without notice, and all this will pass beyond care
And all this will pass without notice, and all this will pass beyond care
And all this will pass without notice, and all this will pass beyond care
And all this will pass without notice, and all this will pass beyond care
An Eastern spell on the East coast
Then half a mile from the sea
Now the bells, bones are sodden
And sing so quietly
I have often slept in a finer bed
Than that she shared with me
A peaceful believer
Waves warm and eager
