Lyrics

I bet you understand
Not to say that you comprehend
What a man can feel
Touching down on the sands of a distant shore
I think you recognize
And it comes as little surprise
That I'm not coming home
No, I'm out here on the sea for to be alone
Think not of me
I'm out here on the sea
With many miles until I reach the shore
Wait not for me
I'm out here on the sea
Don't save your love for me anymore
I cannot honor your love
Foreign to me as the faces I know
As this wind blows my sails
My love has grown as dry as bone
But for your eyes I can remember you not
They burn a hole in my mind
You are a fire with no sense of time
I know these tears I've wept
Fall through the water like a sinking ship
Not to be seen or felt again
But just to waste on a dying ocean floor
I can no longer be sane
With these thoughts, this madness surrounding my life
It is a ghost haunting my soul
Not to be found, yet I follow ever more
