lyrics

Take me in
Forget this crowd
I swear they’ve never in my mind
Felt so loud

Timeless one
Where do you end?
Is the horizon your lover
Or your bed?

But the depths of your eyes
I’ll never know
For you swallow half the sailors
And guided half home

And you ripped the shores
In between
Still, you’re the only one
I believe in

I was once this holy
Girl who knew her way
This was once the only
Place where I could pray
Lord, I pray, lord
To sail away

Oh, the moon and the sun
Be my guides
For my restless bones lie
With the tides

Blue and green
In between
Still, you’re the only one I believe in

But the depth of your eyes
I’ll never know
And your kiss comes as surely
As it goes

Where will you hide?
Where will you run?

I was once this holy
Girl who knew her way
This was once the only
Place where I could pray
Lord, I pray, lord
To sail away

Ocean wide, ocean blue
Pulls me straight to you
And we’ll swim between
The galaxies and we’ll
Carve our names between the tress
And understand why we were
Given this time to
Believe in something

I was once this holy
Girl who knew her way
What is this I’m holding?
Maps don’t give me strength,
No, I pray, lord, to sail away
