about
A love story about trust, faith, and hope...with a nautical disaster.
lyrics
You rest your head my shoulder, and tell me about your plans,
the places that you've been and want to be.
But the world don't understand you, and I guess it never will,
like a tall ship drift out, lost at see.
So hold me till the night ends, hold me till the sun.
Hold me like a stranger drips his gun.
Cause too many times I trusted a devil with a musket,
locked and loaded and pointed right at me...
But I won't run.
See the ocean has it's wishes, with kisses to my misses,
said I'll be back before the yellow dawn.
Because you, you've got me baby, and I promise to be true,
till the sun it sets and all that's left is the night time glowing blue.
So hold me till the night ends, hold me till the sun.
Hold me like a stranger drips his gun.
Cause too many times I trusted a devil with a musket,
locked and loaded and pointed right at me...
But I won't run.
Then the storm came rushing in and the waves they crashed above our heads,
the radio man said we can't even find the died.
But Gabriel he begotten me and I woke up on shore.
I looked up at the lord above and said bring it on back some more.
So hold me till the night ends, hold me till the sun.
Hold me like a stranger drips his gun.
Cause too many times I trusted a devil with a musket,
locked and loaded and pointed right at me...
cause I won't run.
