lyrics

The clearest skies and the calmest seas, I breathed the same air in that you breathed. But I'll never feel that same pain he felt, on those same harsh rocks on which you knelt. You pray to your God, Ill never pray to mine. By that same light that you swore you'd find him by. "We'll meet at the docks where we watched the boats come in," we shared our first kiss but he never did. She screamed for you, and she sang to me, "Oh hear us cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea." Nineteen, and he swore he'd never leave. You watched the tide roll in, the sun set so peacefully. That flask pressed up against your lips, that pain came on so easily. You read each letter down to his last words, "I miss your touch, your smell, and our small town." Then you cast each letter, every picture and the wedding ring to those waves that brought you such suffering. One more glance through fog, one more drink and a prayer, "Tell him I waited, tell him I still care." But you couldn't wait forever so you took another man. Your love crashed with the waves, my life was born with the tide.
