I Speak To You There

I Speak To You There

Verse 1

You are in the tide that fills the channel, that empties it and comes back anyway. You are in the wind that crosses the water with nothing between it and the sea.

Refrain

Wherever you are, I'm speaking. Wherever you are, I'm speaking to you.

Verse 2

I have put you in the year that didn't finish, in the salt the wind leaves on my mouth. *It'll turn*, you said, about the weather. It turned. It has not turned back.

Refrain

Wherever you are, I'm speaking. Wherever you are, I'm speaking to you.

Verse 3

Now the tide is going out across the flats and it does not know your name. Now I am the one still saying it, and that is all I am.

Refrain

Wherever you are, I'm speaking. Wherever you are, I'm speaking to you.

Outro

The tide goes out. The tide comes back. I'm still speaking. That is what I am.
