Folkknot - Letter From The Sea Lyrics

Dearest Renata
I write you from the sea
I am lost in grief
I plead you please believe
I tried to write
A happy song for you
Where I take you to ride
On a sailboat in the sky
But I keep falling back into minor keys

I'm lost in your mind
I can't find a way to rhyme
About the words you said
Or rather did not say
Hesitating at your door
You know I wanted so much more
Would've let you have your way
Had you'd only begged me "stay"
But I left without hearing "goodbye"

Now I face two years at sea
With no one waiting home for me
Our passionate affair
Was swept away by winter's air
So I'll rejoin my mistress here
With her waves so clear and blue
And if I ever come back 'round
Into town and I see you
Though I may give you a frown
It's a wry smile upside-down
No I won't look you in the eyes
I know they'll only sell me lies
And now that I've cut my ties
I'll have the easiest goodbye

Yeah I'll be
The happiest sailor in the sea
