Over The Rhine - Sea And Sky Lyrics

I feel like a castaway but I'm not afraid
You and me and a couple of dusty volumes
I wanna be your Messiah but there's no way
I feel the tide roll in around us

You be the sea and I'll be the sky
I want you with me now don't wonder why
You be the sea and I'll be the sky
Endeavor with me now don't wonder why

This love's like a labyrinth but I'm not afraid
You and me and a strong sense of forever
Like the old Swiss Family Robinson let's drift away
If we go down at least we'll drown together
(I can't forget you)

You be the sea and I'll be the sky
I want you with me now don't wonder why
You be the sea and I'll be the sky
Endeavor with me now don't wonder why

It's a little like this
It's a little like being afraid
It's a little like yesterday
Though I don't mean to invade
Clouds rolled in front of your face
Your tears became the rain
I heard wonderful thunder
As you murmured
As you murmured my name

(Take me far away,
Teach my soul to feel that way
You take me far away
It's wonderful, wonderful)

Roll away
Roll away with me
You be the sea and I'll be the sky
