6. Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight

By this endless ocean stand
And never let go of my trembling hand

Drowning, dutiful
Over undertow
When will the waters watch you rest
The sea swell starts to rise

Blinded, beautiful
Eyes on overflow
And broke down where the breakers crest
Your last gasp left with lies

By this endless ocean stand
And never let go of my trembling hand
You wanted to, wanted to run away

Shut your eyes
But when you fall now I won't catch you
Big surprise
No one's holding your hand
Did you find
Did you find the scars from wounds you
Cauterized
Call this learning to stand
So shut your eyes

You took lessons in listening less
And I listen less to your lies
The water's up to your chest
Wait 'til it covers your eyes
You took lessons in, lessons in
Lessons in loss

Shut your eyes now open, close them tight
And promise your love in the fading light
Couldn't we, couldn't we run away?
By this endless ocean stand
And never let go of my trembling hand
You wanted to, wanted to run away
