The Way We Came In

from Closer Than The Words by Dearest Raven

/

lyrics

Last night the anchor broke and set our little boat free
And sent you sailing on the wind so far away from me
I stood just like a statue with the other ships in dock
And asked God for a favour, would he make the wind just stop
That night I learnt a lesson that I never will forget
God makes all the promises, and we're just making bets
That night when all my hopes and dreams were running out to sea
Our little boat sank and brought you home and back to me

We sell ourselves these things
But lose them in our sleep

They say that we go out the same
Way we came in
They say that we take nothing but
Our characters
They say that we lie to ourselves
How do they know?
They say that we all steal something
Our friends and foes

Another night you packed your things and then you headed out
I didn't even notice that your voice had faded now
So now I am an island and you are a sinking ship
I'd say I am your saviour, but I'm slowly losing grip

We sell ourselves these clothes
But never wear them out
We buy up all the words
But never make a sound

We tell ourselves these things
But never really hear
We strive to go so far
But end up oh so near
