I was floating across an endless sea
waiting for you, to come to me
and save me from waters so deep
i'm tired and just want to sleep
in your arms, ones that know me well
arms that caught me every time i fell
i was waiting on some saving grace
and the moment when i could see your face
no one told me life was going to be this way
but i continue to go on, each and every day
and wait for that moment, when i'm awake
when tears don't fall and my heart doesn't break
when the clouds part and i can find your smile
and ask you to stay with me for a little while
dreams left me empty, wishes don't come true
or i wouldn't be here alone & missing you
not knowing the point, the hope in a tomorrow
and i sit and fill my pockets full of sorrow
and cry for love that's left me lonely
when you were my one and only
and i would've never given up
we'd be drinking from a golden cup
and singing songs that never end
throwing whispers in the wind
but you weren't as strong
to stay here and sing this song
the one that leaves me hollow
tempted, so tempted to follow
into the darkness that devours
behind the earth & cemetery flowers
i'll be floating across an endless sea
waiting for you, to come to me
