Take the velvet line for comfort
|
High above the water, feel disconnected and free
|
Tired of hopes that I just can't run from
|
I travel in secret, I know they're pursuing me
|
|
Morning that falls represents a weak link
|
After is after night's work is done
|
There's no sun, just a grey horizon
|
Hiding from heaven another frozen world
|
|
Watch the ship hold to its course
|
As an act of devotion
|
And me, I'm lost at sea
|
Going through the motions
|
|
Gave all my passion to the ocean
|
She holds it for me in reserve
|
My word is gone into remission
|
Your love's a tragedy that I don't deserve
|
|
She said, "You're only growing now."
|
She said, "Soon have we begun, then she can have you.
|
But until then, you're mine."
|
|
I watch her hold to her course
|
As an act of devotion
|
And me, I'm riding high
|
Going through
|
|
Seems like every flash in her eye's
|
An act of devotion
|
And me I'm lost in her hands
|
Going through the motions
|
|
Shore far away off the port side
|
Shore far away off the bow
|
Shore far away off the starboard side
|
Shore far away from now
|
