This Old Ship

Well I am just the wind, blowing across the vine A belfry full of curious notions, and a steeple aged with time And I can't guess how long it's been since you came around, or I heard my name Loneliness is cold upon the ground And I can't seem to shake these trees hard enough to drop their golden leaves Oh, I guess their story's never told It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone I don't hide it anymore It ain't easy to hear you say you don't need me anymore Well I am just a ship, swaying with the tide A starboard full of scars, and brine Sails tattered in the night And I can't speak for fear in me, or even recognize the broken sound Of this voice that sings a muttered song And I don't see light or grey Just another angel with no wings I'm on my knees praying I won't hit the ground It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone I can't hide it anymore It ain't easy to face the life we built now that you're gone It's been raining on this fairway ever since I left her crying at the docks Begging her to stay All this hurt that rips and tears me to the bone I can't hide it anymore It ain't easy To take the helm, and chart another course I'll set the sails, and trust my fate to the stars And I know I don't belong here anymore Love is always there to break your heart Like this old ship that aches, and quakes beneath the storm When she says she doesn't love you anymore
