Into The Sea Lyrics & Chords By Hours Eastly

VERSE ONE
Lifeless, my love
Your blond hair in tangles
Father’s in the hall
Mouth open wide
Why did she go?
I don’t know!
Did she leave you alone?
She left a note…
At least she was at peace
When her hand penned the last line
Bloodless pink
Feather-light
Why did she go?
I don’t know!
Did she leave you alone?
I suppose…

CHORUS
So I go…into the sea
Don’t wait for me, no
I will not be returning

VERSE TWO
As soon as I can move
I’ll go to meet her in the next life
Paper’s on the stoop
The ink is barely dry
Why did she go?
I don’t know!
Can you still feel her soul?
I feel her ghost…
There beside the bed
I held her head to my chest
Tight?
As tight as any man
Could bear to make his hands
Why did she go?
I don’t know!
Will you fare on your own?
I fear I won’t…

CHORUS

VERSE THREE
The longest goodbye
Just a face on the A-train
From old St. Mark’s
Out to the Rockaways
Why did she go?
I don’t know!
The stars too, implode
I suppose…

CHORUS

OUTRO
In the fiercest fire of the soul
The golden lotus still grows
Underneath the leaning sky
Can’t you see the leaning sky?

Lifeless, my love
Your blond hair in tangles
Father’s in the hall
Mouth open wide
