The Rare Occasions
Shutting You Out
I’ve given up a part of me by holding onto you
The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you

And I could be your ghost
The nuzzle at your nose
I’ve tried and tried but now
I’m shutting you out

Emptiness, it fell to bits and slithered back to shore
And I won’t be the ballast, babe - can’t do this anymore

And I could be your ghost
The nuzzle at your nose
I’ve tried and tried but now
I’m shutting you out

It isn’t me
Honeybee
I am a goner
Sure was an honor

I’ve given up a part of me by holding onto you
The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you

I’m shutting you out
I’m shutting you out
I’m shutting you out
