(That's right)
(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1)
We sent out the SOS call
It was a quarter past four
In the morning
The storm broke our second anchor line
Four months at sea
Four months of calm seas
To be pounded
In the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point
They call them rogues
They travel fast and alone
One hundred foot faces
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
What they call
Love is a risk
You always get hit
Out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
To bail us out
And flooded the engines and radio
Half buried bow
Your tongue is a rudder
Steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong words will strand you
Come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef
The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain
And I wish for
One more day to give my love and repay debts
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west
They say that the captains stay fast with the ship
Through still and storm
But this ain't the Dakota
And the water is cold
(The water is co cold)
We won't have to fight for long
This is the end
This story's old
(This is the end)
But it goes on and on
(This is the calm)
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste the
(This is the calm)
Salt you breathed while you were underneath
(We are the rising)
I am the one who haunts your
(We are the rising)
Dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea
(After the storm)
I spoke the words but never
(After the storm)
Gave a thought to what they all could mean
(Right here with me)
I know that this is what you want
(Right here with me)
A funeral keeps both of us apart
(Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone
(Washed up on the beach)
Need you like water in my lungs
This is the end
This story's old
(This is the end)
But it goes on and on
(This is the calm)
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste the
(This is the calm)
Salt you breathed while you were underneath
(We are the rising)
I am the one who haunts your
(We are the rising)
Dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea
(After the storm)
I spoke the words but never
(After the storm)
Gave a thought to what they all could mean
(Right here with me)
I know that this is what you want
(Right here with me)
A funeral keeps both of us apart
(Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone
(Washed up on the beach)
Need you like water in my lungs
This is the end
Never to see any other way
