Fretblanket - Hammer And Tongues lyrics

rate me

Walk with me into the ocean,<br />

Plenty more fish in the sea,<br />

Fill your tired lungs with the water,<br />

Floating in the aquamarine.<br />

Watch me as I enter the whirlpool,<br />

Sailing on the deep sea swell,<br />

Pass the time of day with the pondlife,<br />

They have their opinions as well.<br />

Swimming through my days in the water,<br />

Water pick these old bones clean,<br />

Bury me deep in the sea floor,<br />

Another making waves machine.<br />

Losing track, sinking back<br />

So long - I'm gone<br />

Swimming with the tide in the gulf stream,<br />

Cruise the north Atlantic drift<br />

Floating on your back in the starlight,<br />

Breathing in the ocean's mist.<br />

Falling as the water protects you,<br />

Sleeping on your own sea bed,<br />

Everything you wanted has left you,<br />

And everything you live for is dead.<br />

Losing track, sinking back<br />

I could wait and catch a wave if I wanted to be saved,<br />

Ride the southwest wind to shore, or dig my heels in ocean floor,<br />

Though I may have lost some strength I could show my face again,<br />

But I've made this place my home, and I'm much safer on my own,<br />

And no-one's gonna find me here...<br />

I could wait and catch a wave if I had wanted to be saved ride the south west<br />

Wind to shore - I could walk the golden mile with a sorry sort of smile or dig<br />

My heels in the ocean floor - Though I may have lost some strength I could<br />

Have shown my face again but I've made this place my home - And you've broken<br />

Me in two and I just don't know what I'd do and I'm much safer here on my<br />

Own...<br />

So long - I'm gone
