about

When I was a kid I wanted to be Reepicheep, from the Chronicles of Narnia. As I got older, I subsequently realised that people can't grow up to be talking mice. So I decided to become Prince Caspian, instead.

lyrics

Oh I've longed to tread the dawn light.
I've longed to test my legs
on a sea that's rough, and sparkling,
tasting wine from golden kegs.

And I've pleaded with the High King,
in embraces yet unsung.
For this life outside of fantasy
must be more than all I've done.

Take me with you, further in,
slicing through the waves, and Eastward once again.
I'll swim toward you when you pass this shore.
'Cause I'm not scared of drowning anymore.
I have heard the terrible, deep roar.

Oh I've dreamed of only searching,
though so much gets in my way.
Where the grass is soft, undying,
there I'll pause, and there I'll make my stay.

Now I wake with aching muscles,
and my love I kiss good morn.
But with all this gifted happiness,
I can hear the harbour noise, and I am torn.

Take me with you, further in,
slicing through the waves, and Eastward once again.
I'll swim toward you when you pass this shore.
'Cause I'm not scared of drowning anymore.
I have heard the mighty, awesome roar.

Take me with you.
What we'll see!
Adventures beyond wildest of dreams.
I will row until my arms are sore,
and wind picks up to take us to that shore.
Lamb or Lion, breathe on me once more.
