| [00:21] |
Joseph, he left in the first light of morning |
| [00:26] |
The boatman was waiting, the tide was turning |
| [00:31] |
And he stood for a moment as if to say |
| [00:35] |
I will see you in passing |
| [00:40] |
The wind took the sails and he floated away |
| [00:45] |
Like so much driftwood washed out of the bay |
| [00:50] |
And he sailed to the island |
| [00:52] |
Where the sand meets the sky and he breathed again |
| [01:10] |
There was something about the sand and the sea |
| [01:14] |
How it all comes together, how it's all meant to be |
| [01:20] |
For water is life and sand measures time for the healing |
| [01:29] |
They say he found Jesus, but that's really not true |
| [01:34] |
It's just an excuse for the blind and confused |
| [01:40] |
For he searched for beauty and freedom from pain |
| [01:44] |
And he made himself well |
| [01:49] |
Joseph, we waited for you |
| [01:54] |
We waited and hoped you'd come through |
| [01:59] |
We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word |
| [02:03] |
But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard |
| [02:27] |
Now he walks like a dancer and measures his space |
| [02:33] |
So strong in his movement and easy with grace |
| [02:38] |
And he carries his body like one who has seen |
| [02:43] |
The hope of an answer |
| [02:48] |
And way in the distance the island is there |
| [02:51] |
Which shifts in the sunlight and floats in the air |
| [02:57] |
A haven for dreamers and lovers who lost |
| [03:02] |
And people like Joseph |
| [03:07] |
Joseph, we waited for you |
| [03:11] |
We waited and hoped you'd come through |
| [03:16] |
We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word |
| [03:21] |
But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard |
