Counting the raindrops I feel you close to me.

Counting the tears I need to hide away.

I break in waves, on the shores of your emotions

Washed up at your feet like a thousand miles of ocean

 

Call up from the depths the monsters we know

Let them dance on the decks of the 

ships, 

that are ghosts of the show.

 

The show we all act in where we all find our strength where the curtain comes down and we dance at arms  length

 

Where we skirt round the feelings we both hold inside

In the warmth and the depths of our hearts we can’t hide 

 

 If storms cast us as bleached trees on the shore

Ripped up by the roots and cast forlorn

Tossed by the salt onto shorelines of stone

Washed around like a pile of bone.

 

A desolation wells up inside.

It crushes the heart and pierces my pride

As I look from the edge of the sea to the land

I can see that the edge , is now where you stand

 

You can turn to sea and rescue your lover

Or turn your back for the arms of another

But whichever your choice

In your heart leave a space

So I don’t sink in your life without trace.
