Drift out to Sea

The sea is calm his hands are steady The boat he's built he knows is ready He takes it to the water Her pale blue eyes hold like a levy Her smile is light but her heart is heavy She takes him to the water He loves her like no other One day they'll be together But for now she watches the sails drift out to sea The warning bell's a captive calling With helpless gaze her tears are falling She looks out on the water A prowling wind the storm's beginning The sky above is slowly spinning His ship is taking water He loves her like no other His hopes are going under But for now holds on as the sails drift out to sea Drift out to sea Voices speak so calm and sweet Say follow us down into the dark the underneath Where you can sleep A crimson sky the sun is setting The years apart there's no forgetting They walk down to the water Oh what their love has weathered From now until forever They sit and watch the sails drift out to sea Drift out to sea
