Lyrics
'Twas a deal that was made for me long ago
My soul was sold, by my father
Just a thought, just a pause could have saved my life
From all this strife
He didn't bother
Thought the cards he was holding was enough to win
But gambling's a sin
As he would find out
Seems the Devil had another Ace up his sleeve
And no reprieve for me
The Fates shout
Ooooooooh....
Guess I always felt a little bit out to sea
Who would believe
That was my calling
Cursed to never feel at home upon the solid land
Groundless I stand
And always falling
It doesn't matter how deep we are in love
It's not enough
Shoreless I must be
Say a prayer that the breeze will blow my way
I sail today
The water's in me
At the Lee Shore
My Either/Or
The land and sea divide in me
Safe nevermore
All aboard
At the Lee Shore
I chose to float
I was born with the sea inside my legs
Raised on the dregs
I found they fill me
In that storm-tossed ship I found my peace
Breath and release
This wind won't kill me
At the helm I saw a phantasm
'Twas Bulkington
The storm creating
And I swear when he looked at me he smiled
And said, "My child
I have been waiting"
Ooooooooh....
Back on the land
A good man
Thinking of me so tenderly
Glimpses he sees
What's underneath
Sinking in me
Just out of reach.
Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
Breathe out…
We had a little house with room enough for three
Outside our bedroom window the sunrise and the sea
And every morning he would kiss each part of me
And I would pray that I could stay just one more day
Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
He said he loved me for my darkness and my light
And I said I loved him because I like a good fight
At night he'd whisper in a voice so soft and low
Unwind the clocks so time goes slow
Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
At the Lee Shore
My Either/Or
The land and sea divide in me
Fearless before
Ocean's roar
At the Lee Shore
I chose to float
In a place where it's water on all sides
My soul abides
Ever shifting
Any steadfast thing I touch it burns
My body yearns
To be drifting
It doesn't matter how deep we are in love
It's not enough
Shoreless I must be
Say a prayer that the breeze will blow my way
I sail today
The water's in me.
Aaaaaaaaah....
At the Lee Shore
My Either/Or
The land and sea divide in me
Safe nevermore
All aboard
At the Lee Shore
I chose to float
Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
