An empty mountain and an empty sea
With an even emptier house between
I went there in a remembered dream
I climbed the mountain where nothing grew
I swam in the sea and came out blue
I made a small fire in the house
And fell asleep waiting for you
And woke to find you'd come and gone
I could tell because the sea was warm
And the mountain loomed taller in the sun
And I knew I'd been abandoned there
With nothing to do but climb and swim
But every night you'd bring me food
And one day you'd return for good
