Take the velvet line for comfort High above the water, feel disconnected and free Tired of hopes that I just can't run from I travel in secret, I know they're pursuing me Morning that falls represents a weak link After is after night's work is done There's no sun, just a gray horizon Hiding from heaven, another frozen world Watch the ship hold to its course As an act of devotion And me, I'm lost at sea Going through the motions Gave all my passion to the ocean She holds it for me in reserve My word is gone into remission Your love's a tragedy that I don't deserve She said, "You're only growing now" She said, "Soon have we begun Then she can have you But until then you're mine" I watch her hold to her course As an act of devotion And me, I'm riding high Going through Seems like every flash in her eye's An act of devotion And me, I'm lost in her hands Going through the motions Shore far away off the port side Shore far away off the bow Shore far away off the starboard side Shore far away from now
