lyrics

I watched you drift away
And leave me alone
On this isle
Of isolation
But I will brave the storms
Of the ocean
And build a boat
To sail me home

And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you

Your face was in the waves
It hypnotised me
And I dreamed
Of running through the jungle
But then I felt the pull
Of the maelström
It pulled me down

And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you

And now the storm has taken hold
Of me
A prisoner of the sea
And I can't sail away this time
To you
To where I wanna be

'Cause I'm sinking down (sinking down)
Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out)
Drinking up the poison as I'm sinking down (further down)
Water is crushing me, I'm fading out (fading out)

The stars all cast their light on the wreck
They bleed as the waves rush over my head

And maybe I will drown
Sink down, sleep soundly
Or maybe I'll be lost
With no salvation
But I will search the stars
And the illumination
Will light the way back home
Back to you
