You call to me
Where moonlight sparkles
Light diamonds set on a velvet sea
I dream
Where the waters swell
And the sirens dwell

You talk to me
And fill my soul
With your stories of love
And of oceans deep
Where the big sleep sets me free...

The waters retreat
Beneath my feet
Floating away
They carry me back home

Form the empty skies
The vagrant sea birds roam
To the storms that lash
And cut me to bone
The rising tide will kiss my face
And wash the pain away...

A hell of ride
But everything ends in time
And we'd seen all the things that we wanted to see
In that cold war that was you and me

Its all been a lie
We played out parts in a long goodbye
And we found ourselves in an empty space
And we'd lost all the thing we couldn't replace

And the long drive home
Was the bitterest silence to share
But we just didn't care.

We ran out of road
Both carrying our own load
And that thing we called trust
Was just ground into dust

The days were too long
To be playing that same old song
And the threads became frayed
From that promises we betrayed

Every act we played
Was filling the space in between
Till we reached the last scene…
