Sound asleep
In an ocean of crashes

Sound asleep
In pouring black rain

[Riff 1c]
Bedside voices praying with tears of ashes

[Riff 1d]
Stung by the salt of weeping skies



[Riff 1a]
All alone 
Lying shoulder to shoulder
[Riff 1b]
All alone with
Hot hand in hand

[Riff 1c]
Sleepy gestures of silent tongue and lashes

[Riff 1e]
Cheek to cheek with last goodbyes



[Riff 2a]
Hold me, a child in your arms
Hold me, please hold me
[Riff 2b]
I'm lost in your gaze
Floating away

[Riff 3a]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh



[Riff 1a]
Wide awake
On an ocean of silence
[Riff 1b]
Wide awake
In soft lullabies

[Riff 1c]
Linen shadows floating through open sashes

[Riff 1e]
All in the touch of a mother's eyes



[Riff 2a]
Hold me, a child in your arms
Hold me, please hold me
[Riff 2c]
A water-marked sky
Of tears that I cry
Is floating so high

[Riff 3b]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-Oh, oh-oh, oh
