lyrics

How long have I been drifting?
Sail wrapped around my bones
To fight off the piercing cold
The only thing keeping me alive
The only thing keeping me from life

I ignore your whispers in the wind
And wait for a ship to bring me in

Drop the anchor and stay in place
Don’t dare stray into uncertainty
Choose familiar danger over the strange
And wait to be saved

I ignore your whispers in the wind

I’m lost at sea
I understand if you forget about me

I ignore your whispers in the wind
I’m much more comfortable in sin

I open my ears and sails
Your breath carries me to safety
Your words to sanity
Thank God I am loved
