Ocean of Sorrows Lyrics

The salt water dries upon my skin
And the waves keep on crashing crashing in
I stand on the shore with my back to the wind
But my voice keeps on calling out to him

I remember the day you sailed away
With my tears in your hair my feet in the clay
Your ship was a shadow your ghost my only friend
I will wait patiently for you to come home again

Twelve years of letters set out to sea
Washing my words to the bottom with thee
And if i have my way they will bury me
In the ocean of sorrows where our love still breathes
