Soundings in Fathoms Lyrics

And you are a book with torn out pages
Thrown from your heart to the fire
I'd like to rewrite your missing chapters
Riddle your plot with desire
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
And now I shall put them all back

You are an avalanche swiftly descending
Soon you'll be taking my house on a hill
I'll wait outside against all precaution
Convince myself to hold still
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
And now I shall put them all back

Patiently I'll wait
And by the water's edge
And soundings in fathoms
To measure out your depth

You are a body of water so deep
I would dare not dive
For fear a leviathan lurks underneath
Do you have something to hide?
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
And now I shall put them all back

Patiently I'll wait
And by the water's edge
And soundings in fathoms
To measure out your depth

You are a book with torn out pages
Thrown from your heart to the fire
I'd like to rewrite your missing chapters
Riddle your plot with desire
And I have overturned rocks
Searching for life below
And now I shall put them all back
