Building Ships

We could almost see the distant shore

When my little sweetheart jumped overboard

I threw a line blind into the sea

But she was free

To drift on

The sea is calm the night after the storm

But i know the empty rain awaits at every turn

I fear i had a love and now it's gone

To find new shelter

And i'm building ships to carry me home

Back to where i sailed from

Back to the places i hurt

The rhythm of the rocking is unknown

It takes a while to get used to the motion

I'm moving slowly but i'm full of anger

That there's no one to blame

It's a cruel game

And i'm building ships to carry me home

Back to where i sailed from

Now i'm building ships to sail on

Back to where i sailed from

Back to the places i hurt

I fear i had a love and now it's gone

I fear i had a love and now it's gone

To find new shelter

To find new shelter
