Building Ships

We could almost see the distant shore

When my little sweetheart jumped overboard

I threw a line blind into the sea

But she was free to drift on

The sea is calm the night after the storm

But I know the empty rain awaits at every turn

I fear I had a love and now it's gone

To find  new shelter

And now I'm building ships to carry me home

Back to where I sailed from

Back to the places I hurt

The rhythm of the rocking is unknown

It takes awhile to get used to the motion

I'm moving slowly but I'm full of anger

That there's no one to blame

It's a cruel game

Now I'm building ships to carry me home

Back to where I sailed from

Back to the places I

Now I'm building ships to sail on

Back to where I sailed from

Back to the places I hurt

I fear I had a love and now it's gone

I fear I had a love and now it's gone

To find  new shelter

To find  new shelter
