You wish for the sea The quiet ocean The liquid dreams
To go one last time A last train home Home in the unknown
To wade out among the waves To sink back and let them carry you The last of you Like a blip at the horizon Before fading from view You let the water take you Swallow you as you swallow the salt Pouring in it purges your lungs You've breathed like this before And now you will do it again The first breath that gave you life Will be the one to take you back in again
No more they will call your name Little boy has gone away Little boy got lost again Little boy grew older Little world found a little colder It dimmed the flame Now a diminished spark Submerged you embrace the eternal dark
Mother I am sorry but I need to go home Where the thoughts of me won't follow Where the voices never speak Where the night forever sleeps You gave the gift of life to me And I am sorry for taking it back
This life is not for me, does not belong to me I'll let its weight carry me, to bury me Bury me at sea
