I first saw it beneath the setting sun A string of gold against the purple clouds It stood before the edge of the divide Between the raging sea and the rolling clouds I dove at the sight of Hope Washing my hair with salty sand There is the beacon beyond turbid seas Haven to repose and a harbor to dock The waves came, crashing, crashing It grayed the world with soaring height It became my eyes and all I see And when I got back on top The lighthouse was gone Buried beneath the dome of the clouds As the sea and the sky embraced So passes my Hope

Hope
I first saw it beneath the setting sun A string of gold against the purple clouds It stood before the edge of the divide Between the raging sea and the rolling clouds I dove at the sight of Hope Washing my hair with salty sand There is the beacon beyond turbid seas Haven to repose and a harbor to dock The waves came, crashing, crashing It grayed the world with soaring height It became my eyes and all I see And when I got back on top The lighthouse was gone Buried beneath the dome of the clouds As the sea and the sky embraced So passes my Hope
Believe me, I was this close. Then... I lost it.
