I waited all this time for you to come
I wasted so much life waiting on a song
And the manner in which it did come
Is not one I can lean on
And the woman for whom I should fall
Is the kind who doesn’t need me after all
Honey you’re something else it’s plain to see
But I won’t kid myself, no one will save me
Cause the ship that I came in on
Has turned to dust in the dawn
Let loose the hell in my head
Dive into the swell and die upon the sand
Maybe this is all that I need
Maybe this will be enough
All the sky above, and no record of my faults
Two fools in love, the ocean, and the salt
I spent the morning trying to drink my blues away
You spent the evening telling me it won’t always be this way
But the booze aint all it’s cracked up to be
My love has yet to lie to me
My heart can only hold so much
Maybe I’ll let go and let it go for once
Been some time building up resentment in me
One of these days I may return it to the sea
And the seagulls will sing a goodbye
As my mind falls into the sky
My soul will slip into that water
Drown in all that cold deep water
I will lie upon the oceans back
How can I come back after that?
