lyrics

The ship in the harbour is ringing her bell / to take me wherever desires I can quell / Though I may ebb with the moon and the tide / my thoughts will be with you should I leave your side // If I am blown by a north westerly / or should I be lost in a cold briny sea / I'd follow the ocean and swallow my pride / to beg your forgiveness should I leave your side // I've tried to be open and tried to explain how a heart can be honest and reckless and vain / But if you are found to be battered and sore / I'd turn on these heels and curse you no more // The seasons are turning from green unto gold / and if you wait for me you're brave and you're bold / But if I should turn to a blackness and slide / you must not come with me should I leave your side // But unto your star I am heavenly drawn / between darkness and light I am forever torn / If I am guilty I'll bond my parole / may the stars strike me down and the depths take my soul // Though I can't be trusted / in this heart beats a stone / and many's the reason why I'm lost and alone / But if I depart it can never be denied / 'twas with good intention should I leave your side.
