Lyrics

We once had a ship
The sea, you, and me
Winds dusted in sea salt
Carried our hearts free

To crimson horizons
And on that journey
Songs of the waves
Soothe storms with lullabies

I would have given you the ocean
But we had to sail away
My love lies in the ocean
Forever’s just a day

No storm was impossible
We kept on sailing
But then the black clouds burst in lust
God’s crying

The lightning flashed
Our anchors smashed
I saw myself in the tide that night
Churning so greedily

I would have given you the ocean
But we had to sail away
My love lies in the ocean
Forever’s just a day

I wish that I’d listened to the winds,
Winds of change

The moment we drifted:
A look away
Became another day

Today I sail again
And every time when
I dock at some port
I hear talk of your name

It makes me smile
To know you’re ok
All the words I want to say
Drift away

I would have given you the ocean
But we had to sail away
My love lies in the ocean
Forever’s just a day
