Seas Too Far to Reach

[Verse 1]

The ladies in my dream are so obliging

They come on down to do the things I need

Whether skies are calm or cut apart by lightning

They’re always there to minister to me

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And at break of dawn, they’re sweetly shining

Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim

They say “don’t harm him”

And when I wake just as their eyes are crying

I see that bed and I just want to climb back in

[Chorus 1]

But let’s gather up your friends and drive up to that country inn

We can stay there, feeling water warmly wash across our skin

Giving back all of our tears so that we can cry them again

[Verse 2]

You want to tell your dad you can’t believe he’s dying

But let’s just walk on down the hall and shut our mouths

The AM radio is broken down and crying

As on this hour drive we’re silent to ourselves

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Let’s go back up to your house, and take our clothes off

And just push and pull ourselves until we’re deep inside of sleep

And with your body next to me, its sleepy sighing

Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach

[Chorus 2]

But I’ll gather up my men and try to sail on it again

And we’ll walk and quietly talk all through the country of your skin

Made up of pieces of the places that you’ve dreamed and that you’ve been

And we will sleep outside in tents upon this unfamiliar land

And in the morning we’ll awake, yeah, as a foreign dawning breaks

My men and I will all awake. Let's try again
