Watching the Ships Go Down
by Iain

Album: Orphans of God

take each other for granted
it's only love we tell ourselves
it's only emotion
untamed as any ocean
with the wind at our backs
and time on our side
breakers crashing on rocks
we assume that we'll survive

watching the ship go down
in the water
watching the ship go down
in the sea
watching the ship go down
in the water
carrying you and carrying me

paradise is a black sky
invisible horizons
the lighthouse is speaking
it stutters with a sleepy beacon
dreaming separate dreams
dreading separate dreads
we're adrift in the stream
heeding sirens in our heads

watching the ship go down
in the water
watching the ship go down
in the sea
watching the ship go down
in the water
carrying you and carrying me
