Play Crack The Sky

歌詞

We sent out the SOS call It was a quarter past four In the morning When the storm broke our second anchor line Four months at sea Four months of calm seas Only to be pounded in the shallows Off of the tip of Montauk Point They call them rogues They travel fast and alone One hundred foot faces Of God's good ocean gone wrong What they call love is a risk To always get hit Out of nowhere By some wave and end up on your own The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts To bail us out And flooded the engines and radio And half buried bow Your tongue is a rudder It steers the whole ship Sends your words past your lips Or keeps them safe behind your teeth But the wrong words will strand you Come off course while you sleep Sweep your boat out to sea Or dashed to bits on the reef The vessel groans The ocean pressures its frame Off the port I see the lighthouse Through the sleet and the rain And I wish for one more day To give my love and repay debts But the morning finds our bodies Washed up thirty miles west They say that the captain Stays fast with the ship Through still and storm But this ain't the Dakota The water's cold (so cold) Won't have to fight for long (This is the end) This story's old (this is the end) But it goes on and on Until we disappear (This is the calm) Calm me and let me taste (this is the calm) The salt you breathe While you are underneath (We are the resin) I am the one who haunts your (we are the resin) Dreams of mountains sunk Below the sea (After the storm) I spoke the words but never (after the storm) Gave a thought to what they all could mean (Rest here with me) I know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want (Washed up on the beach) A funeral keeps both of us apart (Washed up on the beach) You know that you are not alone I need you like water in my lungs This is the end (This is the end) This story's old (this is the end) But it goes on and on Until we disappear (This is the calm) Calm me and let me taste (this is the calm) The salt you breathe While you are underneath (We are the resin) I am the one who haunts your (we are the resin) Dreams of mountains sunk Below the sea (After the storm) I spoke the words but never (after the storm) Gave a thought to what they all could mean (Rest here with me) I know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want (Washed up on the beach) A funeral keeps both of us apart (Washed up on the beach) You know that you are not alone I need you like water in my lungs This is the end (Never to see any other way)
