lyrics
Holding on
Through waters cold and dark
Arm in arm
Until we drift apart
Seas change and oscillate
And drown before you acclimate
Cut and run
Eyes on the horizon
In the doldrums
A lighthouse or the sun
Sinking
Gasping for a breath
Reaching for the shore
Gasping for a breath
Floating to the shore
Through waters cold and dark
Arm in arm
Until we drift apart
Seas change and oscillate
And drown before you acclimate
Cut and run
Eyes on the horizon
In the doldrums
A lighthouse or the sun
Sinking
Gasping for a breath
Reaching for the shore
Gasping for a breath
Floating to the shore
