Oh brother I've wandered far from home
Oh mother I'm far too young to grow old
Oh father my heart is far too strong
To be afraid to go on
Oh lover our love was more than all
But now it's washed and I must go
The tides will carry me from shore
I'll cry alone, then cry no more
These tears will fill the seas
And when it rains you'll know it's me
You'll know I'm fine and always here
That we're more than tragedies
The body's the weakest of them all
The storms will come and sweep our bones
The winds will see the paths we walked
Our smiles, our loves, our joys
My childhood's gone, that much I know
It used to seem it would go on
I had it all, then it was gone
One day I'll sing no more
These tears will fill the seas
And when it rains you'll know it's me
You'll know I'm fine and always here
That we're more than tragedies
I've just got this feeling
In my heart
That there's more to me than
They let me have
