I'm a Sailing Drifter, You're a Drifting Sailor (Barcarolle in G)

from Vessels by Ethos

lyrics

If you grow tired of my love
Release the string and let me
Float away out into the open sea.
There I will surely find some comfort
In the lullaby that God breathed into
The salty Ocean Breeze.

Waves will rock my to sleep
As the sirens sing their tune.
You may look to the stars
But I swear God’s inside of the moon.
And O, the tide draws me
Further out to sea.
The waves show my how to be free.

You’ve got your rudder but I’ve got the tide.
So darling, you’ll do what you do
And look to your sails but never the sky
Until come the storms when heaven will cry.
When stormy winds blow and bring out the cold
The thunder will roll but

After a fortnight I’ll sink in the reef
And I’ll make my grave in the deep.
But as I find peace in my watery tomb
The ocean feels more like a womb.
