To The Sea



The wind is a'whipping through the open doors

Speaking of the sea and the rolling' waves

Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now

or struggling on the surface with a cry for help

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you



Twenty years ago it was a howling storm

as the voice of a god from a great beyond

I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark

with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you





Because all I have left is the voice of the wind

Blowing through the doors of our house





The sun was drying up the rain in our sky

Shining gold in our sails and

our hearts standing by

Remember what they're singing

on their way to the sea:

“Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me”

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you



Empty were the coffins and

the house where we lived

as the grave that I dug

by our place on the beach

How I wish the water could

be poured out of the sea

so I can go and get you back ashore with me

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
