lyrics

These empty rooms may be plain
but they're a maze all the same
when you're not here to laugh my walls down.
A skeleton bedframe
and a ghost where you clothes once hung
are my only company now
and I'm forgetting how
to sing the songs we sang for a world
where the young aren't afraid
of what future awaits
and us old folks are having such fun
planting those trees whose shade we'll never lie beneath.
I had hoped you'd be free
to spend the last days with me.

But ready or not, here it comes in waves.
I sail on a sea I thought I knew so well,
but here I am overboard,
dreaming of kissing dry land,
kissing dry land.

Hold your head up high, my love.
Don't float away or spiral in,
though the wind is howling.
Whether you are near or far,
I will love you as you are.

These days the wine makes me sad
and the beer makes me fat,
but the whisky steadies by hand
when I think of the desert
that held us so close we were part of the land.
Did we leave missing pieces behind
or sow seeds due in time?
Who decided that this is goodbye?

But ready or not, here it comes in waves.
Change alone is unchanging, so do not mourn the tide.
Give my plans to the sand
along with all that I am,
all that I am.

Hold your head up high, my love.
Don't float away or spiral in,
though the wind is howling.
Whether you are near or far,
I will love you as you are.
