lyrics

Oh mother of the tide
Won't you wash away this soul
Blessed with wings but without flight
I will wander in the cold

I followed your voice to a beach and there I lost my way
Heard your voice carried on a breeze to the shores of my mistakes

And though I thought I'd thaw my heart out by the sea
Though you guided me here, there's no sign of what could be
I thought the sun would show the answer to my plea
But you never appeared, I am haunted by fear

All I know is you made a fool out of me
I was lead here by ghosts already lost to me

Every memory you burnt into my heart
wrote a map, I ask, "Oh why am I still
following paths that will lead us apart?"
I will wander on my own

(Mother of the tide
Won't you wash away this weary soul
Blessed with wings but without flight
I wander in the cold)

No lessons left to teach, this ship has gone astray
Implore the sun to set me free from specters in the grey

Into the mist I fade, by sirens I'm deceived
But I did overhear songs of oceans so serene
A stolen kiss a day to let the old heart bleed
Over one who was dear, paralysed in my fear

All I know is you made a fool out of me
I was lead here by ghosts already lost to me

Every memory you burnt into my heart
wrote a map, I ask, "Oh why am I still
following paths that will lead us apart?"
I will wander on my own
