At Sea

(album: One Wild Life: Soul - 2015)

I followed the signs
I followed the stars
I followed anything to get where you are

But you were asleep
Far out at sea
You couldn't hear
Oh you couldn't see me

And waves crashed around
Swallowed you whole
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out your soul

You said "I love her"
You said we'd last
So I'll walk on water hold steady hold fast

She was a rage
Something so fierce
Grasping my feet as I came near

I held out my arms
To gather you up
I fought off the demons shed tears
And shed blood

And waves crashed around
Swallowed me whole
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out my soul

I said "I love him"
I said we'd last
So I'll walk on water hold steady hold fast

Her fury subsides
We wake with the dawn
Taking account of what damage was done

To our surprise
We did not meet death
Love stood up strong
Oh love haloed our head

And we walked the waves
Far out at sea
Wrapped in his arms oh my lover and me

Raging or calm
Little we care
Cause love is a force that will carry us home

And waves dance around
We learn to let go
To sing to the moon and awaken the soul

We said "I love you"
We said we'd last
So we'll walk on water, hold steady hold fast

We'll walk on water, hold steady hold fast
