We the Drowned

Just keep kissing
Just keep holding on
For this moment is pure
And in love we are strong
We are strong
Like timbers and steel
Like the wind in the sky
And the waves beneath the keel
The world's what we wanted to see
Then return homeward bound
But the gale calls us back to the deep
We the drowned
We the drowned
We had dreams
Of fortune and fame
All the ladies would swoon
And the young men knew our names
We had names
When we rode the waves
But what floats drifts away
And what sinks now marks our graves
We traded our lives for gold
And this empty town
Is this what we wanted to be
Never found
Never found
We traded our lives for gold
And this empty town
Is this what we wanted to be
Never found
The world's what we wanted to see
Then return homeward bound
But the gale calls us back to the deep
We the drowned
We the drowned
We the drowned
We the drowned
