In the name of a woman. Standing anxious at a window
Counting waves to see. Our letters wash up
Swearing us safe. Cut through the night
Close your eyes. And ride the wind
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty
Never said what would become of us
A truth too great for concern
She worse her heart. Like a blood red stain
On the chest of a velvet gown
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell
And all the grace. That she gave to the world
Comes down tonight. Comes down tonight
So we share. Our frozen gaze. An assuring bond
To carry on. To carry on
We’ll never be the same. No we’ll never be the same
Home becomes our sun. breaking the horizon
Like a spotlight to tired eyes
Brilliant as the sun. breaking the horizon
Like a spotlight to tired eyes
So we lit the sails. And cast ourselves in
To the searching eyes. We were a wreck
A sight for miles. A scene to break
A thousand hearts. If on ashes. We wash ashore
Then by the sea we are spared
We are spared and pure
Into the depths. Her flowing beauty
Never said what would become of us
A truth too great for concern
She worse her heart. Like a blood red stain
On the chest of a velvet gown
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell
Never forget. The fury of a well aimed promise
We’ll never be the same. No we’ll never be the same
