Song Lyrics

we are not sailors lost out on the sea
Asking if there s no heaven what is this hunger for, time is a brutal but a careless thief
We are not sailors lost out on the sea, down through the long loneliness of the world
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief, we drink our fill and still we thirst for more, we are aging soldiers in an ancient war
the seasons come and bring no sweet relief

It s another round in the losing fight, who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
they re circling low and inside tonight
until we behold the pain become the pearl
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled, it is the heart that kills us in the end Pearl, we cry allelujah
Down through the long loneliness of the world, we are not sailors lost out on the sea

Down through the long loneliness of the world, the seasons come and bring no sweet relief, it s another round in the losing fight
We cry allelujah, asking if there s no heaven what is this hunger for
It s another round in the losing fight, hoping for a glimpse of gaililee
It is the heart that kills us in the end, oh the dragons are going to fly tonight Harris, and we cry allelujah allelujah
we drink our fill and still we thirst for more

Down through the long loneliness of the world, seeking out some half remembered shore Emmylou, we cry allelujah
like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
We are not sailors lost out on the sea, hoping for a glimpse of gaililee, down through the long loneliness of the world
We lift up our prayer against the odds, they re circling low and inside tonight Pearl, it s another round in the losing fight
down through the long loneliness of the world

It is the heart that kills us in the end, they re circling low and inside tonight
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more, it s another round in the losing fight, and fear the silence is the voice of god
time is a brutal but a careless thief
Out along the great divide tonight, asking if there s no heaven what is this hunger for
And we cry allelujah allelujah, it s another round in the losing fight The, and we cry allelujah allelujah

We cry allelujah, like falling stars from the universe we are hurled Pearl, and we cry allelujah allelujah
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend, time is a brutal but a careless thief, time is a brutal but a careless thief
just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
It s another round in the losing fight, we are not sailors lost out on the sea The, it s another round in the losing fight
we are aging soldiers in an ancient war

We drink our fill and still we thirst for more, so there ll be no guiding light for you and me
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend, sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled, down through the long loneliness of the world
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more, oh the dragons are going to fly tonight, seeking out some half remembered shore
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod, our path is worn our feet are poorly shod Harris, the seasons come and bring no sweet relief

Hoping for a glimpse of gaililee, we are not sailors lost out on the sea
It s another round in the losing fight, and we cry allelujah allelujah
Out along the great divide tonight, seeking out some half remembered shore, we drink our fill and still we thirst for more
It is the heart that kills us in the end, sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
Down through the long loneliness of the world, sorrow is constant and the joys are brief

We lift up our prayer against the odds, we cry allelujah
We were always headed toward eternity, the seasons come and bring no sweet relief
Asking if there s no heaven what is this hunger for, asking if there s no heaven what is this hunger for, it s another round in the losing fight
