Katzenjammer - To The Sea lyrics

rate me

The wind is a'whipping through the open doors<br />

Speaking of the sea and the rolling' waves<br />

Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now<br />

Or struggling on the surface with a cry for help<br />

Wish I could forget and let the years go by<br />

Wish I could escape from my dreams of youTwenty years ago it was a howling storm<br />

As the voice of a god from a great beyond<br />

I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark<br />

With a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart<br />

Wish I could forget and let the years go by<br />

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you<br />

<br />

Because all I have left is the voice of the wind<br />

Blowing through the doors of our house<br />

<br />

The sun was drying up the rain in our sky<br />

Shining gold in our sails and<br />

Our hearts standing by<br />

Remember what they're singing<br />

On their way to the sea:<br />

"Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me"<br />

Wish I could forget and let the years go by<br />

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you<br />

<br />

Empty were the coffins and<br />

The house where we lived<br />

As the grave that I dug<br />

By our place on the beach<br />

How I wish the water could<br />

Be poured out of the sea<br />

So I can go and get you back ashore with me<br />

Wish I could forget and let the years go by<br />

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
