Shipwreck
I’m heading down to the coast tonight; I had to get away.
We were in one of our spells again; I knew it wouldn’t help to stay.
I’m driving in the sea of darkness; my high beams cutting the night,
And that big old moon is getting smothered in clouds
Disappearing and taking her light.
It’s a shipwreck darling; we’ve run aground.
Everything we once had going down.
It’s a shipwreck darling; will we drown?
Everything we once had going down, going down.
I’m wading out in the surf tonight, into the cruel deep,
Asking the moon and stars for light, show me where we can meet.
I’m swimming in the sea of darkness, wishing for your touch.
Your moon-wet hair and your sea deep eyes, I’ve come to want so much.
It’s a shipwreck darling; we’ve run aground.
Everything we once had going down.
It’s a shipwreck darling; will we drown?
Everything we once had going down, going down.
Things fall apart. Sea loses stars.
The center cannot hold. The damage will be told.
It’s a shipwreck darling; we’ve run aground.
Everything we once had going down.
It’s a shipwreck darling; will we drown?
Everything we once had going down, going down.
I’m plunging under the waves tonight, into the silent zone,
Far below the storm and strife, where I can be alone.
I’m diving in the sea of darkness, darkness squeezing my heart,
So much like the tension between me and you that’s tearing us apart.
It’s a shipwreck darling; we’ve run aground.
Everything we once had going down.
It’s a shipwreck darling; will we drown?
Everything we once had going down, going down.
