This is one of my original songs, "Seaward", from my upcoming EP TRY TO HOLD SEABIRDS. The video is of mostly medieval Madonna and Child paintings.

(c) 2007 Joseph Paul

Where the ivy
Twists over felled monuments to pride
Now grow roses
Where she walks
Gabriel's words
I repeat walking by dusk's pale light
Ten times over
Beaded chain

Chorus:
Turn my eyes seaward
Toward the dawn
Turn my eyes seaward
Skies her song
Virgin birth teaches
Me as I
Turn my eyes seaward

And she stood there
Stoically steadfast before the cross
Flowing blood vast
As the sand
How many cathedral pillars
Would imitate that?
Vaults touch heaven
As her sway

(Chorus)

If I've fallen for each day I've lived
I've gone to her as much
As she bore the One whose grace gores pride
She draws me up
