Forest City Lovers - Sudden Seas lyrics

rate me

look out at the water

the sullen seas are sound

put the mast up out of anger

and wished for wind to come

but a sail won't bring us forward

if the air is still tonight

so we'll drift around in silence till the morning brings her light

thought i'd escape to california

and sing someone else's songs

took account of my shortcomings

left them all in oregon

but shortcomings have a heartbeat

and a pulse not be ignored

spread my feelings out like fire

left them burning on the floor

but i can't bring us forward

if the air is still tonight

so we'll drift along in silence

till the morning shows her light

and then perhaps a breeze will come

and move our tired limbs

for i'm so sick of walking

i've almost given in

i'll sleep on it.

look out at the water

the sullen seas are sound

put the mast up out in anger

and wished for wind to come

but a sail won't push us forward

if the air is still tonight

so we'll drift along in silence till the morning brings her light

and then perhaps a breeze will come

and move our tired limbs

for i'm so sick of walking

i've almost given in

i'll sleep on it.
