lyrics

In this boat I look for signs of morning
In these sails a bond I cannot keep
In this heart I hear a siren calling
Set to sea I turn my salty cheek

Don't wake up
Don't cry out

In these arms I hope for sweet surrender
In these veins I hunt for poetry
In this vessel floating to the future
Weeping weather fills the cold grey sea

Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound

Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow

In this boat is all we ever needed
In this storm I know we will not drown
In this battleship far from homeland
Rock this body
I'll ride the wave back down

Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound

Confusion go - protect my home
On land or sea they won't take me
Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow

You are an anchor
I am a wave
