I barely slept, my head just spun
I briefly dreamt of some future to come
Adrift on a boat on a deep, dark sea, crying and choking on a fit of my grief.
Resigned to this lonely fate, to watch as the waves dragged you away
And all I could do was shake, and beg myself, again, for help that I knew too well to await
Don't sing. Just listen. Are you listening
The sky stretched out, an endless gray of unbroken cloud but the storm never came
Time stood still, but still things changed, swell after swell but gray all the same
Unaware until far too late, it had all been replaced but the way that ya sang
And all I could do was shake, and beg myself again for help that I knew too well to await
Don't sing. Just listen. Are you listening
