Hounds - Della Mae

Where do you go when the light is low

When your ship is sinking

When the storm explodes

When your heart it lingers

On one sad kiss

When the sun is red

Through the mist

I’ve sailed with «The Anne»

for twenty years

from the blue of the Indies

to the waters of Whales

Now she is swolen

her sails are torn

the water is rising,

together we mourn

And the hounds of heaven rise

From their place by the fire

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time

Strange how you see

Your life complete

In the few moments,

before you greet

The force that made the ribbon of sky

that holds us up,

in the darkest night

And the hounds of heaven rise

From their place by the fire

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time

I am a seeker of fortune

I am an honest man

I’m tied to my morals

By a steady hand

I’ll bow my head

Into the sea

Let the waves

Wash over me

And the hounds of heaven rise

From their place by the fire

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time

They’re chasing me down

But it ain’t my time
