he said, "who truly belongs here?"
"not i," she said, "i'll lie here with you"
he knows no one shines forever
they change with the weather
he said, "i've now stayed too long here"
"goodbye," she said, "i'll wait here for you"
he knows the winds carry sorrow
as they leave, she'll follow
they leave tomorrow
fragments of joy torn apart
a freshly drained heart that beats
disguise themselves through him
he'll say that it's nothing new
and swear this is true
for you, i'll swallow the ocean
i'll swallow the ocean
he said, "who truly belongs here?"
"not i," she said, "i'll lie here to you
i know the sorrow is sacred
and i'll never break you
i'll softly save you"
fragments of joy torn apart
a freshly drained heart that beats
disguise themselves through him
he'll say that it's nothing new
and swear this is true
for you, i'll swallow the ocean
i'll swallow the ocean
