lyrics

'Twas a deal that was made for me long ago,
my soul was sold, by my father.
Just a thought, just a pause could have save my life
from all this strife. He didn't bother.
Thought the cards he was holding was enough to win,
but gambling's a sin, as he would find out.
Seems the Devil had another Ace up his sleeve,
and no reprieve for me the Fate's shout.

Guess I always felt a little bit "out to sea."
Who would believe that was my calling?
Cursed to never feel at home upon the solid land,
groundless I stand, and always falling.
It doesn't matter how deep we are in love,
it's not enough. Shoreless I must be.
Say a prayer that the breeze will blow my way.
I sail today. The water's in me.

At the Lee Shore, my Either/Or, the land and sea divide in me.
Safe nevermore. All aboard.
At the Lee Shore, I chose to float.

I was born with the sea inside my legs.
Raised on the dregs, I found they fill me.
On that storm-tossed ship I found my peace.
Breath and release. This wind won't kill me.
At the helm I saw a phantasm,
‘twas Bulkington, the storm creating.
And I swear when he looked at me he smiled,
and said, "My child, I have been waiting."

Back on the land: A good man,
thinking of me so tenderly.
Glimpses he sees, what's underneath,
sinking in me, just out of reach.

Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
Breathe out…

We had a little house with room enough for three.
Outside our bedroom window the sunrise and the sea.
And every morning he would kiss each part of me,
and I would pray that I could stay just one more day.

Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…

He said he loved me for my darkness and my light.
And I said I loved him because I like a good fight.
At night he'd whisper in a voice so soft and low.
Unwind the clocks so time goes slow.

Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…

At the Lee Shore, my Either/Or,
the land and sea divide in me.
Fearless before ocean's roar.
At the Lee Shore I chose to float.

In a place where it's water on all sides,
my soul abides, ever shifting.
Any steadfast thing I touch,
it burns. My body yearns to be drifting.
It doesn't matter how deep we are in love,
it's not enough, shoreless I must be.
Say a prayer that the breeze will blow my way.
I sail today. The water's in me.

At the Lee Shore, my Either/Or,
the land and sea divide in me.
Safe nevermore. All aboard.
At the Lee Shore, I chose to float.

Breathe out…
Breathe out...
Breathe out…
