|
We could almost see the distant shore |
|
When my little sweetheart jumped overboard |
|
I threw a line blind into the sea |
|
But she was free |
|
To drift on |
|
The sea is calm the night after the storm |
|
But i know the empty rain awaits at every turn |
|
I fear i had a love and now it's gone |
|
To find new shelter |
|
|
|
And i'm building ships to carry me home |
|
Back to where i sailed from |
|
Back to the places i hurt |
|
|
|
The rhythm of the rocking is unknown |
|
It takes a while to get used to the motion |
|
I'm moving slowly but i'm full of anger |
|
That there's no one to blame |
|
It's a cruel game |
|
|
|
And i'm building ships to carry me home |
|
Back to where i sailed from |
|
Back to the places i... |
|
Now i'm building ships to sail on |
|
Back to where i sailed from |
|
Back to the places i hurt |
|
|
|
I fear i had a love and now it's gone |
|
I fear i had a love and now it's gone |
|
To find new shelter |
|
To find new shelter |
