Glimmer - The Maccabees

With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong

When water mirrors for you and all that you look on

Just a glimmer from the way beyond

But you’re lost today, you’re lost today

In each and every tide things are lost

Things we must not lose sight of

No matter if you’re tired

Why suppose oracles can let you know

With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong

When water mirrors for you and all that you look on

Just a glimmer from the way beyond

But you’re lost today, you’re lost today

Between you weigh the cost against damage of

And shore it up against the flood

She’s the whitest of your wave through it all,

Through it all, through it all

But you’re lost today, you know you’re lost today

With it all before you, how could it ever go wrong

Couldn’t bear to carry couldn’t lay upon

Saw a glimmer from the way beyond where we helped today

Where we helped today, where we helped today…
