Manning - Antares lyrics

Far out of sight 
 On the crests of the ocean
 The trawlers are pitched 
 Like floats in slow motion
 My father and brother
 With the name of the sea
 Pulling their haul 
 And the weights underneath Rolling the salt barrels
 Caskets of ice
 The nets will burst open
 Like birds in free flight
 The wind and the water Cut through to the bone
 Turning the boat around
 Heading for home But the light from Antares
 Has traveled to greet me tonight
 Matching the candle
 That waits by the window and calls to the night
 The light from Antares 
has traveled to greet me tonight Our own journey is short and over too soon
 As the red star casts bronze on my face
 And the walls of my room Play host to the galaxy 
 Bathed in delight
 We sparkle the globe 
 Like firefly lights
 Mayfly moments
 And lightning crash
 Lost in a second 
 Of brilliant flash
 Whilst stretching its heart
 On a traveling sleeve
 The soul of this giant
 Is barely perceived
 Ignoring our transitory
 Nature and haste
 It stretches its fingers
 And flexes through space But the light from Antares
 Has traveled to greet me tonight
 Matching the candle
 That waits by the window and calls to the night
 The light from Antares
 Has traveled to greet me tonight
 Our journey is short and over too soon
 As the red star casts bronze on my face
 And the walls of my room The light from Antares
 Has traveled to greet me tonight
 Our journey is short and over too soon
 As the red star casts bronze on my face
 And the walls of my room
