lyrics

Staring out at the coastline tonight
My soul restless as the sea
And the wind and the waves never could wash away
All the brokenness inside of me

And the sun in the sky is my pride
and the hole in my heart is the moon
And the sun gives it light in the dark of the night
But in daytime she hides it from view.


We drink toasts to broken hearts
And toasts to ghosts in the dark
We remember their names but they're gone just the same
Though they linger like second hand smoke.

And this bottle is empty again
Like the promise of warmth in the rain.
Like a mirror or hourglass shows how the time has passed,
Life shows we end up the same.


Bury me far from my youth
In a field sown with memories and time
Let me lay down my troubles like rocks in the rubble
Of the ruins the years have made blind

Let the fire I felt when I lived
Be the light that burns bright when I’m gone
Let the ones that I love hear this song from above
And know that I’m singin along.
