The Day You Fled From me


l'd drink the sea away

To lie with you in your grave

I made this resolution on your birthday

With my oar in the shallows

Shipwrecked and splintered

Singing a deaf song

With words beautiful

As a pink sky at night

Sailers delight

On the day

You fled from me


It was as fresh as spring

But we were barren as the fall

The seasons distancing me

But the devil in my minds eye

Is burning bright for you

He’s for your beauty

He can’t have you anymore


l'd drink the sea away

To lie with you in your grave

I made this resolution on your birthday
