Well we started out

Together hand-in-hand

Now I speak to you

But you don't understand

We're drifting separately

It' nothing like we planned

We found ourselves without loving

The ship is in no shape for rescue

The rudder gone, the sails are torn

We're all at sea with no protection

The icy sea will chill our bones

Even if we both survive

And we make it back to shore

Will we find a way back to

The love we felt before?

All the things we had

Are casualties of war

What remains of our loving?

Will I remember you

As the mists of time close in?

Will I ignore your scream

For help above the din?

As the wounds of battle fade

And I try to rise again

Will there be something worth loving?

My ship is in no shape for rescue

My rudder gone, my sails are torn

I'm all at sea with no protection

The icy sea will chill my bones
