• The Word I Couldnt Keep

[Verse 1]
A foreign shore behind me and a hundred more to go
On stormy seas and starless nights, caught on a cold wind's blow
So many years have put my battered bow up to the test
A long forgotten promise coming home at last to rest

[Chorus]
For even in this darkness, something calls for me to find
And cities may all turn to ash and stone walls fall to time
My love still lies there buried under silent ice and sleep
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn't keep

[Verse 2]
I stole you from another but you knew I'd leave someday
I felt the tide pull on my bones, told you I couldn't stay
I made a bet that I'd return and someday soon I will
And though I'm many years too late, I hope you've waited still

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I've been to Salem's bluest coast and back to Amsterdam
And conquered mighty swells with just a line beneath my hands
And now I rest far in the north, a broken heart to lie
Forever under tattered sails and 'neath a blackened sky

[Chorus x2]
