Married to the Sea

I can’t be alone tonight
the slow water laps against the snow and ice
there’s something calling me
there’s something human in that voice
How could this be the wrong thing
on the dark hill that overlooks the playing field?
We’re looking at the sky
and now we’re married to the sea
Don’t turn now, I can’t sit too still
I’ve got to get back with the payload
Summer came in with them swimming charms
It can wait, it can wait, it can wait
It’s somebody else’s turn
to stumble out into the night
If somebody’s gotta get burned
I’m going to turn out the light
Don’t turn now, I can’t sit too still
I’ve got to get back with the payload
Summer came in with them swimming charms
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait
So be it, he’s the one man
whose sails are tall enough
to catch my breeze
There’s nothing wrong with that
except we’re married to the sea
