For all the moments never known
'Cause he stepped off of the tallest sail
For all the love he'd left below in the waves
He made his peace with letting go
Said some things he'd never dared to say
The one the lighthouse left alone, (never saved)

'Til set of eyes had pinned him
Became his version of a kingdom
Now I know they'll never hunt me
When she's singing to me, "Glory"

(And a hopeful rhythm woke within him)

(Had some letters written, 'course she's in 'em)

She's singing to me, "Glory"
I was only ever thinking 'bout you, you know

They found a letter that he wrote
He said, "It's best off if we burn the page"
I wrote it very long ago in different days
I guess I'm tired of talk of hope
I've learned that doves and ravens fly the same
But suddenly she's all I know, (an old refrain)
