Wine Dark Sea Lyrics & Chords By Jon English

I have crushed the cup of you-outh
Like a rose between my fingers
But it's nectar never warmed my weary hear-eart
I have watched life disappear-ear
Like the creepin' mists of mornin'
For these ropes that tie me down will never part
For I have never known a feelin'
Such as this wash over me
I would climb the purple mountains
I would swim the wine dark sea-ea
Oh my back is weak and my brain is dull
From the toil of many years
Workin' just to justify my fear-ears
But all my feelin's come and go-o
And insi-ide somethin' grows
Got to make it, try to fake it
Through my lonely, lonely years
Until I've once again this feelin'
That just washed over me
I would climb the purple mountains
I would swim the wine dark sea-ea
Oh-hoh-oh, I had an idea-ea in my ha-and
To get you to change your lonely ways
To a greener la-and
But I got typical effectiveness
Blissful manki-ind
I let it go-o, just didn't know-ow
And now my story's do-one
Do not fee-eel symphathy
There is little of my body left to sa-ave
Keep on searchin' till you fi-ind
That which prays upon your mind
Or you'll fi-ind co-old comfort in your gra-ave
'Till I've once again this feelin'
That just washed over me
I would climb the purple mountains
I would swim the wine dark sea-ea
Oh I have never known a feelin'
Such as this wash over me-ee
I would cli-imb the purple mountains
I will swim the wine dark sea-ea
