This song is dedicated to the memory of Ben Hanson

Lost to it all under such a weight of water.
The pull of the world and all its in-betweens.
Put faith in stone and rope to keep you down there.
Faith in nothing else.
Faith in nothing else.
I presume you surveyed their stunted dance from that moorside with weary eyes and wished it well.
The twinkling lights in the valley waving you home.
The twinkling lights in the valley waving you home.
Not enough eyes on though. HORIZON though.
Not enough eyes on.

A deep breath, a last breath, then paid the ferryman with a bag of stones.
Gave it all to such a weight of water.
We all waited up for you, but the trail went cold before we chanced to look.
It was the work-shy rope that gave you up.
Such a weight of water.

Weight of water, faith in nothing else
Faith in stone, faith in nothing else
Faith in stone and rope, faith in nothing else

Faith in stone and rope. Faith in nothing else.
Faith. Faith in stone and rope.
Faith in nothing else.
