Lyrics

Eleven Miles Out

Miles out to sea, swimming back to shore

Just you and me

Miles out in a darker sea, coming back again

Covering me

Blood shivers down

Cover my heart and floodin' the soul

We've been lost and found

Everybody's gotta try and fill that hole

My, oh, my, the water's deep

The water's deeper than you and me, yeah

My, oh, my, oh, my, how we speak?

When everybody's swimming in a darker sea, sail free, yeah

Oh, how is it me

You're sitting on a shark staring back at me

Out there the shadows fall

Everybody's waiting for the sun to call

It's getting hard in this dirty down

Don't let the fuckless grind you down

My, oh, my, oh, my, where we're free?

Everyone's swimming in a darker sea

Sail free, sail free, sail free

He's eleven miles out

It takes strength get him out

Sail free, sail free

Sail free, sail free
