lyrics

Blue moon Kentucky off the Eastern Front, beyond the shoreline and the bay
A skipjack surrenders to an angry wind, and ten sad souls were swept away
Beyond this land a lighthouse stands, guarded by the chaos and the fog
My true one’s love lies trembling above, I shall respond to her call

There’s a light in your eye, and it won’t calm down
And it’s calling me back to you
And I know by now, this wind will kill me somehow
In the beginning is the end
Help me realize

The Sun set swiftly as I traveled on, the storm it followed ‘long the way
It spread its angry wings around me and the lighthouse slowly dimmed away
The waves they slammed like a hard headed ram, the hull was swallowed by its mouth
My love, My love, I’m losing you, beyond the shadow of a doubt

Below is water, above is rain, and in between there is the storm
Calm your daughter, because I’ve known pain and the dullness and the dimness of the shore
I’ve been cut and I’ve been bled and I’ve been scarred and it’s been said
My blood runs deep throughout this sea
My said it shed, I fell starboard ‘cross my head, now the sea runs deep inside of me.
