Steeples

I heard a story about a boy Who was swept off the deck The sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck But it did not end there, the boy began to swim And dared to the sea that dared to invade him [Chorus] Did you ever want to know me And did you ever feel like I could And did you ever want to know me And did you ever feel like I could It's a silent steeple That carries us down It's a silent steeple? But the sea would not so much as reply So the boy yelled to the ships that were fated to die Red sky at night, sailors take delight Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning [Chorus] It's a silent steeple That carries us down It's a silent steeple Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, Sail on, take it back We were going with the wind in our hair And we didn't want to look back 'cause if we did Well We would not care And if we all were to die now Well it wouldn't be that bad Cause that boy in the waves said He'd give us everything Everything he had To go on, and trace that scar Like we did ten years before [Chorus] It's a silent steeple That carries us down It's a silent steeple Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on
