Call The Ships To Port Lyrics - Covenant

A billion words ago 

The sailors disappeared 

A story for the children 

To rock them back to sleep 

A million burning books 

Like torches in our hands 

A fabric of ideals 

To decorate our homes 

A thousand generations 

The soil on which we walk 

A mountain of mistakes 

For us to climb for pleasure 

A hundred clocks are ticking 

The line becomes a circle 

Spin the wheel of fortune 

Or learn to navigate 

A choir full of longing 

Will call our ships to port 

The countless lonely voices 

Like whispers in the dark 

A choir full of longing 

Will call our ships to port 

The countless lonely voices 

Like whispers in the dark 

A second of reflection 

Can take you to the moon 

The slightest hesitation 

Can bring you down in flames 

A single spark of passion 

Can change a man forever 

A moment in a lifetime 

Is all it takes to break him 

A fraction of a heartbeat 

Made us what we are 

A brother and a sister 

For better or for worse 

A billion words ago 

They sang a song of leaving 

An echo from the chorus 

Will call them back again 

A choir full of longing 

Will call our ships to port 

The countless lonely voices 

Like whispers in the dark 

A choir full of longing 

Will call our ships to port 

The countless lonely voices 

Like whispers in the dark 

Tonight we light the fires 

We call our ships to port 

Tonight we walk on water 

And tomorrow we'll be gone 

Tonight we light the fires 

We call our ships to port 

Tonight we walk on water 

And tomorrow we'll be gone 

Tonight we light the fires 

We call our ships to port 

Tonight we walk on water 

And tomorrow we'll be gone 

Tonight 

Tonight
