lyrics

I found you down by the sea couldn't believe the way you looked at me
All you were wearing was the evening breeze and a string of lillies
We built a boat from our love unfurled the sail under the stars above
We climbed aboard and off we shoved thought we'd be enough

But there's a storm burning in my heart and I don't know which way the wind will take us
And I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us
And if this is a dream I don't know if I want you to wake us
But I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us

You say so much with your knowing smile but I was a foolish child all the while
Let my insecurities run free and put you on trial
I know your heart and I know this ship you know the ocean and all its tricks
we know the word before they've passed our lips we've planned this trip

But there's a storm burning in my heart and I don't know which way the wind will take us
And I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us
And if this is a dream I don't know if I want you to wake us
But I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us

So here we are lying out on the deck its never easy but I'm doing my best
Want you to know in case our ship gets wrecked with you I've been blessed
I might wander and you might stray we might get lost we might lose our way
Let tomorrow morning bring what it may just love me today

But there's a storm burning in my heart and I don't know which way the wind will take us
And I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us
And if this is a dream I don't know if I want you to wake us
But I can see rocks all around and I'm afraid they're a-gonna break us

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh sweet Lydia
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh my love
