Sullen Seas Lyrics

Look out at the water
the sullen seas are sound
i put the mast up out of anger
and wished for wind to come around
but the sails won't bring us forwrd
if the air is still tonight
so we drift along in silence
till the morning shows her light
thought i'd escape to california
and sing someone elses's songs
took account of my shortcomings
left them all in oregon
but shortcomings have a heartbeat
and a pulse not to be ignored
spread my feelings out like fire
and left it burning up the floor
but i can't push us forward if the air is still tonight
so we'll drift along in silence till the morning shows her light

and then perhaps a breeze will come and move our tired limbs
for i'm so sick of walking i've almost given in, i'll sleep on it

look out at the water
the sullen seas are sound
i put the mast up out of anger
and wished for wind to come around
but the sails won't bring us forwrd
if the air is still tonight
so we drift along in silence
till the morning shows her light
and then perhaps a breeze will come and move our tired limbs
for i'm so sick of walking i've almost given in, i'll sleep on it
