The Ocean Is Your Voice lyrics

The space between your fingers The lack of water burns The fear in you that lingers Stalking all whom it concerns The tempest's howling chorus Sings the days we never took As they come dying all before us The closing of a book I turn the other cheek I'm dropping, I am one Into the hands of nameless lands To which you cannot run But the ocean is your voice It whispers, "Half of me has fled" And now you're screaming bloody murder Breaking promises and bread Your words now crossing worldly borders Strip my covered ears The only thought that comforts Is the hope in future years That maybe you'll arrive here With a heart and mind subdued And maybe we'll remember then The life that we pursued The tide sweeps you away But no further can you be Than one night's sleep through winter Time is nothing more to me And the ocean is your voice It's howling, "Half my life is dead" And I am screaming bloody murder Breaking promises and bread
