High Seas

This sea used to be
A place where you and me would dream
On a sailboat for two
Cuddled by the waves, into the blue
And when the hills would let go
There was so much to behold
Lemon trees, sweet life's air
Crossing burnt lands and now nightmares
There are roses in the water
Missed the coast and their daughters
Throwing flowers from the boat
Petals touch the end like stones, but so they go
And what about those grown up girls
Where do they come from
They're leaving home
They leave to come home
You look like the sea
Salty hair, wild and free
Heavy mountains in the distance
Singing old cursed symphonies
It's hard to live with the choices we make, isn't it babe
But in the wells of silence powdered thoughts fade in the darkness
There is hope in these waters
Kissed the coast and their lovers
Throwing flowers from the boat
Petals touch the end like stones, but so they go
And what about those grown up boys
Where do they come from
They're leaving home
They leave to come home
Travelers in the night
Between hell and paradise they move
We are people on the move too
Waking up to a warm sunrise
The sun is on our side
Our time is overdue
People see faces they can't see through
Throwing flowers from the boat
Petals touch the sea they float, and so we go
And what about the winds that blow
Where do they come from
We're leaving home
We leave to come home
