[Verse 1]
Gently waking, a final skyward sigh
Please, send me safely home
It's almost time, goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay me down

[Chorus]
The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like "going home" is etched on every page

[Verse 2]
Fragile Atlas
He carries that old smile
He will stay his weary arms
To just lay down a while

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay me down

[Chorus]
The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like "going home" is etched on every page
[Bridge]
No, won't accept that's the way I go
(By my) quiet hand, sinking slow
Won't accept that's the way it ends
(Won't you) stay like stone and mend
I'll wear the words like Atlas
Never said the day I chose to stay
And I wish I could have shared
A fraction of the peace that I found then
My friend

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like "going home" is etched on every page
