Burying Giants – Stormy Seas

Beautiful folk song by Burying Giants

LYRICS:

Obey the deed
and pull your bridge up
for rising seas
they’re always out of reach
bring her back close to me
and I promise this time I’ll change

The hole left
hangs on the wall like a
silhouette
blocks out the room
when every time I get close
I just take a step back and there’s your ghost
warning me
of more stormy seas

So quick to the pose
and once order’s imposed
I’m left
wondering if my soul
could be rid
of me
It’s such tired, tired
restless thing

The hole left
hangs on the wall like a
silhouette
blocks out the room
When you’re only
trying to find a home
that you’ll never
leave
your bleeding blood from stone
cos every time I get close
I just take a step back and there’s your ghost
warning me
of more stormy seas
