Lyrics

Aren't you scared of the wreck and the harm / if you take a boat out in this storm
Where every beam and timber shall be torn
and don't you fear? Oh yes my love I'm scared but I'm still here

When all these harbours are broken down / the shores have gone and the seas have rolled in
Will you still want will you long for my skin?
And will you care? Oh yes my love these losses I would bear

And I'm just a flotsam drift and I do not choose my shore
Must I serve out my love for you on some empty ocean floor?

Feels like I know how to lose stretching out across the black and the blue
and waiting for some message to come through
and a furtive kiss and oh my love I need you more than this

These nights have not disclosed to me the consequences and undercurrents of this sea
I know the anchorage of this one thing, and it's my cure
It's you my love where I would find my shore

The jealous heart is the devil's child and burns the salt from the sea
and when you're held in these other arms do you ever think of me?
