'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.
'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat,
I know
And all through cover,
The rain will sweep and swallow you alive
Without a trace, or a tear across the sky
And oh, my lover
Not the grace or the elegance can hide
But give you enough time to say goodbye
Save my soul, save my life.
'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.
'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat,
I know
And good God, good God
If you see me, hear me suffering tonight
Would you hold my hand or strike it down with light?
This ship won't hold
Or break against the bracken in the night
The ice beneath the freezing sea in sight
Save my soul, save my life
Save my soul, save my life.
'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.
'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat,
We heard them yell
'Save me, save me.'
'Save me, save me.'
'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.
You screamed 'don't fall!'
But the rocks they crushed my skull
And the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks, of the corners of your boat
As the storm begins to lift, and we're sinking to the floor
The lighthouse sees a wreck upon the nearest shore
'Save me, save me.'
'Save me, save me.'
