Declan O'Rourke - We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea lyrics
Along the quayside you were a light And I, a reflection, lay across the river and the night You were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised And names were whispered to and by you and I The tides began to steal away from morning light As night receded river walls seemed to grow high Then you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes When we awoke we had been drifting We didn't mean to go to sea, We didn't mean to drift away We never planned to up and leave, But still the sea took us away We saw no lands on the horizon, No distant shores along the fray Yet all the more we found ourselves When we got lost at sea that day Timbers creaked, all else was quiet and relieved Except the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves It had to dawn on us, our truth had been believed Beyond all lies and jealousy We sailed high wind half-mast Due north, towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders That matched our speed to stay ahead The afternoon was bleeding to death And soon the sky was racing red To see the stars remove their hats out of respect We didn't mean to go to sea, We didn't mean to drift away We never planned to up and leave, But still the sea took us away We saw no lands on the horizon, No distant shores along the fray Yet all the more we found ourselves When we got lost at sea that day |
