The Sea Took You Away From Me
Whenever I see a boat
My heart sinks and doesn't float
From heavy pain being caused
The day a huge wave has tossed
Your love from my life forever
Now I feel I can never
Step onto a dock again
Or new heartaches will begin
Thinking back when we could sail
Through any storm we'd prevail
But now the port into my soul
Has been crushed as you control
The memories in the back
Of my mind that you attack
With the breezes that blow through
Chilling me with ghosts of you
It was supposed to be so great
As we tried to set a date
For the perfect wedding plans
Engagement ring upon my hand
Sparkling with the light of sun
There was just one place to run
Right into a brand new day
Our love would have led the way
'To a future filled with light
Two hearts burning really bright
Until they were killed by the
Power of an angry sea
Flipping our love boat violently
As you tried to rescue me
Pushing me up from the wave
Thinking that we both were saved
Until your grip on me would waiver
No feeling was ever graver
As I saw you drown below
Into a grave so dark and shallow
Leaving me alone to wonder
If this heavy guilty anchor
Will ever become untied
But every time that I've tried
My heart feels it has sank
And my love life walked the plank
Jumping overboard to leave
Me alone in life to grieve
