Beneath The Brine Lyrics & Chords By The Family Crest

Oh, young love of mine;
She sleeps beneath the brine.
And, oh the sound, the tick;
The weighty click of her heart against my spine.

Now the dark is nigh;
And she lays here at my side;
But like a steady squall;
Her arms they fall and her legs, they grasp me tight.

Oh, young Love, young Dear,
Why have you taken me in your fall?
All of my love, all of my life,
given to you, sacrificed.

Oh, my waking world,
I leave you for a girl.
Cast away into this blight;
Swimming blindly through the night.

Now my heart is bound,
like a plague upon this sound.
And oh, it slips away, such soft decay;
Then it grows, Oh Oh Oh!

Oh, Young Love, Young Dear
Why have you taken me from the fall?
All of my love, and all of my life,
Given to you, sacrificed.

Stay clear of the wreckage:
She goes down, down, down.

And she burns like the sun,
and it all falls away.
Take your time and I'll take mine here today;
But it cuts like a knife,
and we're bound here as the night, it breaks away;
And it all goes down.

(Oh, the sun!)

Oh, Young Love, Young Dear,
why have you shaken me from the fall?
All of my life, all of my days,
given to you, castaway.

Here's to the war; Here's to the night;
All of my love, sacrificed.

Soft and kind; cold as ice;
Hold yourself beneath the brine.

Smooth as wine; black as night;
Hold yourself beneath the brine.
