"Between the Sea and the Sky" The stars wink at me They're all I can see Since you're at home, safe and sound I'm amidst the waves Fighting off my grave I am all alone, but I won't drown Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom I barely notice the tide As it tries to take me to the bottom Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom Between the sea and the sky My anchor whispers to me Hold fast hope, can't you see That you'll be okay, safe and sound? So I won't give up my life To the darkness this night The dead calls for me, but I won't drown Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom I barely notice the tide As it tries to take me to the bottom Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom Between the sea and the sky And somehow I found strength in nothing I convinced myself I'm safe out here I've been out here for far too long Has anyone noticed that I've been gone? With each new day I feel lost again And still I long for the touch of your skin The warm embrace, your gentle face I'm beginning to think I fell from grace Please let me go, I want to go home Just tell me which way I need to go Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom I barely notice the tide As it tries to take me to the bottom Between the sea and the sky Where my anchor doesn't reach the bottom Between the sea and the sky
