lyrics

He was a useless dreamer
She had a fierce desire
Love obscured their differences
Til romance did expire

Thought that he could live
In his imagination
Denied the things she couldn’t forgive
Was prone to exaggeration

Sang every song, both old and new
About going out to sea
Delusion deep as ocean blue
About the man he’d never be

Songs of the sea betrayed him
Songs of the sea had lied
Everything gone terribly wrong
Despite how hard he tried

Would that she could hold the night
Cold and without wind
To hold all of it oh so tight
Until it let her in

The heart it has a vastness
An ocean that can’t be held
Accommodates both life and death
The heart is a deep well
The heart is a deep well
The heart is a deep well
