lyrics

Watch my dreams lay dying, set the sails for somewhere new
I capture my mind wandering, through the seas and straight to you

Catch my fingers slipping, watch as I lay bleeding
And there's nothing that's worth saying, when love is just a moment that is fleeting

The wind is fighting back, blowing back my tattered sails
My ship is wrecked and sinking, my life is flashing, ship is crashing
Lovers screaming, laughter seeping, last laughs of last letters from the sea
And you won't see me

Watch as I lay dying, washed up on this lonely beach
The sea has claimed her victim, the wind has had it's victory

God looks down upon me, watching as I waste away
I turn away from his face, and know that everything won't be okay
Why'd you go away?
Why'd you have to go?

Now the sky falls down upon me, and everything is black
And here I lay my last confession, and admit my last concession
And love is lost but life is left and all you'll have are letters from the sea
And you won't see me
