A broken promise to the one left behind.
Home To The Sea
Lyrics by Mick Evans
Cut me down if you ever come home
I’m still hanging here for you -
rotten fruit in heaven’s garden
rotting meat in the baking sun -
I’ve paid the price for every race you’ve run
Cut me down if you ever come home
too late for me to leave you -
faded words from shoebox letters
jaded looks all the life I see -
you took the hope so far away from me
You promised you’d come back for me
promised you’d come home
Float away - float away
far from home to the sea -
wasting away from all this wishing
wish you’d come back - set me free
float away - float away
home to the sea
Cut me down if you ever come home
no-one’s holding on for you -
lay me down in the rolling river
say a prayer then let me be -
feel the cool water washing over me
You promised you’d come back for me
promised you’d come home
Float away - float away
far from home to the sea -
wasting away from all this wishing
wish you’d come back - set me free
float away - float away
home to the sea
Run, run - rolling river
as the lifeblood runs from me -
run, run - rolling river
run, run - all the way to the sea
Float away - float away
far from home to the sea -
wasting away from all this wishing
wish you’d come back - set me free
Float away - float away
all our days run empty -
holding me down with broken kisses
wish you’d come back - set me free
float away - float away
home to the sea
Yeh, you promised you’d come back for me
promised you’d come home
