lyrics

The Great Plains are an ocean so calm you’ll never drown
The mountains are a great wave frozen we won’t live to see come down

You’re asleep, I’m awake. You’re a death, I’m a wake
You’re a ship sailing through and I’m awake

The sky is empty as I am. What I’d give to see a cloud.
I’m searching for a place to land. Hopes are dashed without a sound.

You’re the moon, I’m the tide, I have nowhere to hide
Like a leaf on the wind, my hands are tied

Home is where the heart is when it finally stops beating
Where the silence looms so loud, can’t tell the calm from the whirlwind

Steel your nerves, steal a map, and if every page is blank
Raise your sails, don’t look back, don’t look back
