lyrics

The Barren Seas

Names, like old chains
They tumble from my tongue
Love, that once was sweet
Now darker than the sun
Words, they always fail me
When I need them most
Sense, it always leaves me
When I feel you close to me

I can see the harbour
I can see the land
Won’t you row us closer
So we can walk the sands
We’ve sailed the barren seas
We’ve never found true peace

Pain, my oldest friend
She waits in every port
Pay for happiness
But that feller can’t be bought
Swords, they always shatter when I need them most
Guns, they always seize up
When I feel you close to me

I can see the harbour
I can see the land
Won’t you row us closer
So we can walk the sands
We’ve been sailing so long
We can’t recall our names
We don’t know where we’re heading
But we carry on the same
We’ve sailed the barren seas
We’ve never found true peace
