To The Sea

[Verse 1] The wind is a-whipping through the open door Speaking of the sea and the rolling waves Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now Or struggling on the surface with a cry for help Wish I could forget and let the years go by Wish I could escape from my dreams of you [Verse 2] Twenty years ago, it was a howling storm As the voice of a God from a great beyond I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark With a hand on a Bible and a hand on my heart Wish I could forget and let the years go by Wish I could escape from my dreams of you [Chorus] Because all I have left is the voice of the wind Blowing through the doors of our house [Verse 3] The sun was drying up the rainy sky Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by Remember what they're singing on their way to the sea: "Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye for me" Wish I could forget and let the years go by Wish I could escape from my dreams of you [Verse 4] Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived As the grave that I dug by our place on the beach How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea So I could go and get you back ashore with me Wish I could forget and let the years go by Wish I could escape from my dreams of you [Chorus] Because all I have left is the voice of the wind Blowing through the door... Because all I have left is the voice of the wind Blowing through the door... (one more time!) All I have left is the voice of the wind Blowing through the doors... of our house!
