1000 Ships

(album: Be Here - 2011)

I'd go beyond our fighting borders
If you needed that from me
I'd march with decorated soldiers
To get your pretty eyes to see

Well, I would bring your morning coffee
Then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders
Cover blankets on our feet

So slow down
There's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining
Where I know it'd find you soon

Because I have sailed a 1000 ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well, I would bring your morning coffee
Then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders
Cover blankets on our feet

But slow down
There's some sort of blessing here
But you've gone and missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining
Where I know it'd find you soon

'Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well, money and fame they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses
Are calling your name
But I'll be here waiting
I'll always be the same
If you'd let me in again

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining
Where I know it'd find you soon

Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining in
Where I know it'd find you soon

'Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through
