Heart of the Sea

music/lyrics: Waylon K. Smith
©2017 The Positronic Cats

I was adrift,
The man that I was, was a ship
That was trying to drown
And the ship, that I was,
Was sinking without making a sound

CH:
And my heart was a sea of smashed pianos
And the sea was sharp, and the sea
And my love was a tattered sail that hung lifeless
Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly
Endlessly...

And all hands abandoned the deck
All that remained was the wreck
Of a ship that was gathering gloom
And the ship, that I was,
Was sinking by the light of the moon

CH:
BR:

She appeared from the mist
Bade me to shake free my barnacles
It was time to fly
And the ship, that I was
Is still sailing through the stars tonight

Ch:
And my heart is a sea of constellations
And she is the heart of the sea
And my love is the force that's expanding the universe
Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly

And my heart is a sea of constellations
And she is the heart of the sea
And my love is the force that's expanding the universe
Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly
Endlessly...
