Song For You

(album: The Fall - 2017)

The waves crash over me again
And again
There's a storm approaching land
And I'm so far out in the undertow
Blindly praying for the sand

I built a boat that caused my sinking
Nothing to blame but my own hands
The final lifeboat has been taken
And I find I'm playing with the band

This song for you
This song for you

When we first met I held a hammer in my hands
A box of nails I used before
Turns out the woodshed now is empty
I didn't know the job in store

I thought the plans I drew were carefully drawn
But alas, I'm just a fool
And now I'm drowning in my sorrow
Like when a builder blames his tools

And sings his song for you
Singing his song for you

"Find what you love and let it kill you"
But I have always been unsure
If this was spoken by a mad man
Or by a doctor with a cure

So as I am fighting with the ocean
Too soon to tell if I'll survive
Will I meet you underwater?
Will we be swallowed by the tide?

And drown in this song
Drown in this song for you
