This Old Ship

Well I am just the wind, blowing across the vine
A belfry full of curious notions, and a steeple aged with time

And I can't guess how long it's been since you came around, or I heard my name
Loneliness is cold upon the ground
And I can't seem to shake these trees hard enough to drop their golden leaves
Oh, I guess their story's never told

It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks
All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone
I don't hide it anymore
It ain't easy to hear you say you don't need me anymore

Well I am just a ship, swaying with the tide
A starboard full of scars, and brine
Sails tattered in the night

And I can't speak for fear in me, or even recognize the broken sound
Of this voice that sings a muttered song
And I don't see light or grey
Just another angel with no wings
I'm on my knees praying I won't hit the ground

It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks
All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone
I can't hide it anymore
It ain't easy to face the life we built now that you're gone

It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks
Begging her to stay
All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone
I can't hide it anymore
It ain't easy

To take the helm, and chart another course
I'll set the sails, and trust my fate to the stars
And I know I don't belong here anymore

Love is always there to break your heart
Like this old ship that aches, and quakes beneath the storm
When she says she doesn't love you anymore
