A crack in the sky lends a light to the dark,
The wind blows the ember, a coal from the hearth,
You carry it proudly through ditches and trees,
Across the horizon to lie down and sleep.
Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling
Blue is the eye watches over the sea,
Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling
Blue is the eye that looks after thee.
Over the ocean toward a new world,
The city, the island, the tear in the pearl,
A boat on the water casts out a clear еye,
The darkness bеneath us is teeming with life.
A flash in the dark glimmers silver and blue,
Breaches the waves for a moment or two,
Moves away slowly back into the deep,
Blue is the eye watches over the sea.
