DIXIE CHICKS - Storm Out On The Sea lyrics

rate me

As a girl I watched the sailing ships Like white birds

on the sea Their sails were wings that rode the wind

My heart longed to be free I saw you standing by the

sea But your hand was warm against my face The beach

was dark as death Your kiss was my life's breath And

lovin' you's like drowning in a storm out on the sea

Put your arms around me darling Now and rescue me

And lovin' you's like drowning and I feel so all alone

Put your arms around me You never said you'd stay with

me And I'll never sail alone I never tied your hands

Where they can walk dry-footed The way some frightened

women do to keep their love on land In their lover's

arms they hide And never fear the tide Or the moon

upon the water Loke lost sailors seeking land And

the clouds came low and lonely The rain upon my body

beat me down upon the sand Soon I learned that lovin'

you means drowning in the sea And you turned your back on me
