Once again in the night

Once and around and around and around

They came up through the ground through the ground

And without a sound, with a sound, out a sound

Their souls had been found, had been found, had been found

They all joined their hands, joined their hands, joined their hands

And danced in the sands, in the sands, in the sands

The waves were all black, were all black, were all black

There was no going back, going back, going back

They filled up their pockets with rocks, with some rocks

And wound up and wound up and wound up their clocks

The time, it had come, it had come, it had come

To return to the ground, to the ground they’d come from

So they emptied their eyes, all their eyes, all their eyes

And rolled their goodbyes, their goodbyes, their goodbyes

The ink and the moon and the moon and the sand

Cried silently out across sea and cold land

As the children sank back in the ground, in the ground

Once again, in the night, like the night they had drowned
