lyrics

When I talked to you last night
I could tell what was on your mind.
You didn't have much to say
That the crows hadn't carried away.
 
I see you're in love again
With everything you might have been.
You used to turn water to wine.
Used to turn words into diamonds.
 
And it's a high, high road.
Come on, it's time to go.
The path is steep to climb
Until you know that it's time, time, time.
 
Looking for secrets to keep,
Your treasure is buried so deep.
Your demons retreat from the light.
Like dreams at the end of the night.
 
The captain is lost to the sea,
No different than you are from me.
His heart is born out 'cross the waves,
His memory all he can save.
