Well we started out
Together hand-in-hand
Now I speak to you
But you don't understand
We're drifting separately
It's nothing like we planned
We've found ourselves
Without loving
The ship is in no shape for rescue
The rudder gone
The sails are torn
We're all at sea
With no protection
The icy sea will chill our bones
Even if we both survive
And we make it back to shore
Will we know the way back
To the love we felt before?
Since the home we had
Was burned down to the floor
What remains of our loving?
Will I remember you
As the mists of time close in?
Will I ignore your scream
For help above the din?
As the wounds of battle fade
And I try to rise again
Will I find
Something worth loving?
My ship is in no shape for rescue
My rudder gone
My sails are torn
I'm all at sea
With no protection
The icy sea will chill my bones
