The Blue Ocean

If you squeeze a heart so lonely
will it bleed its sad red song
does it sing a sorrowful melody
with the oceans gentle throng

I've boarded a ship of destiny
black waters of ruffled silk
the captain of numbing misery
to steer her through the murk

A light that never rises
on horizons of distant dreams
and a hope that lays more quiet
then my pillow beneath the sea

Lost in the shadowy places
my moon with its icy beam
sliver of silver memories
it stabs my restless dreams

I lean on the keel of searching
for a glimmer that she may be there
down through this tunnel of wishes
on a ship in the tar of despair…

When the sun ever touches this darkness
I wonder if I will be there
the cold and the deep I hear calling
for a rest and escape from the tears

If the heart is sung to its last drop
will the pain of a love disappear
or is torment the wind of emotion
for the souls, in the ships

On The Blue Ocean
