Ocean of Sorrows

The salt water dries upon my skin And the waves keep on crashing crashing in I stand on the shore with my back to the wind But my voice keeps on calling out to him I remember the day you sailed away With my tears in your hair my feet in the clay Your ship was a shadow your ghost my only friend I will wait patiently for you to come home again Twelve years of letters set out to sea Washing my words to the bottom with thee And if i have my way they will bury me In the ocean of sorrows where our love still breathes
