I spent my time back then thinking of nothing but them

The dead ends of my thoughts the last friends in my head

And you heard me you heard me you heard me my friend

Sent the ship over seas to save me from death

Through the storms I have weathered through the dark and the rain

You sent me the ship that I sail on today

And the boat sails on like you sang in your song

And my mind feels clearer several years on



And the ship that was sailing on

Those storm ridden seas

Was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me



My mind was a turbine that fueled all the storms

And those words were the courage in which calmness took form

Through the storms I have weathered

Through the dark and the rain

You sent me the ship that I sail on today



And the boat sails on like you sang in your song

And my mind feels clearer several years on

And the ship that was sailing on

Those storm ridden seas

Was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me



I've found life, found the strength in myself to grow up

I've found friends, and the strength and the want to live

And the ship that was sailing on

Those storm ridden seas

Was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me

Through the storms I have weathered

Through the dark and the rain



And the boat sails on like you sang in your song

And my mind feels clearer several years on

And my mind feels clearer several years on

And my mind feels clearer several years on 



And the ship that was sailing on

Those storm ridden seas

Was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me
