lyrics

Well I've been working a long time at this
Keeping myself far away from the cliff
And you're like a gale blowin' eastward bound
But I can stand my my ground, yes I can, I can stand my ground

I never much cared for the romance of the sea
See there's monsters and pirated behind every weed
And you're like a warm tide inviting me in
But the shore's going to be my friend, yes it is, the shores going to be my friend

Ch: 'Cause only my tears could float,
Only my tears could float
Only my tears could float your boat.

Well its true that I've been a few years on the road
But roaming is easy when you ain't got no home
And you're like the fire that's warming the hearth
But I'm still in the dark, yes I am, I'm still in the dark

And I'm thinking the desert is my next destination
I'm going to build me a squat on the Apache Nation
And you'll be the sun, setting far in the west
When I lay down to rest, little girl, when I lay down to rest.
