Carrie Elkin - Landeth By Sea lyrics

rate me

I can just see you, whilst you sail across the waters

And the winds will knock your heart free

You’ll take the pictures of life as a sailor

And you’ll send them to me

You’ll write me a story about waves that came crashing

And how they helped you find peace

I’ll write you a story about my garden of daisies

And tell ya it’s where I’m meant to be

Cause you’ve found your quiet now

And I’ve found my quiet

By landeth and by sea

But one can’t exist without the other to feed it

What’s that say about you and me

I’ve been meaning to ask

About you and me

No one ever really knows the reasons for breaking

Or the reasons to set a heart free

But I know I’ll miss you when I’m working ‘neath the willows

And my hands are blistered and bleeding

And I know you’ll miss me when you cast out the long lines

And catch fish to fill bellies of the weak

I’m feeling full now and you’re feeling full now

By landeth and by sea

I’ve been meaning to ask

About you and me

If you should decide to come back from the water

We’ll rest neath that ol’ willow tree

Cause I’m willing to take it and I’m willing to lose it

Guess that’s the way

Love’s supposed to be

I’ve been meaning to ask

What loves supposed to be

You’ve found your quiet now

And I’ve found my quiet

By landeth and by sea

One can’t exist without the other to feed it

What’s that say about you and me

I’ve been meaning to ask

About you and me
