With a pocket full of empty
And a memory full of ghost
The west wind gusting
You leave the placid coast
Your heart in pieces yearning
Your senses dry and scorn
The depths in which you feel
So hopelessly be warn
On the sleeve of your existence

Weathered and rotting
Fade away, fade away
Tomorrow another day
Just reach and you will find it
Unleash the chains that bind it
Mother sea is calling
She will hold you true
Let her currents guide you
Straight for something new
Her tide is reaching outward
To a barren land
Washed away your castle
She takes you by the hand
Sail again
Sail again



(alternative piece)

With a pocket full of empty
And a memory full of ghost
The west wind gusting
You leave the placid coast
Now free from your resistance

Your heart in pieces yearning
Your senses dry and scorn
The depths in which you feel
So hopelessly be warn
On the sleeve of your existence

Weathered and rotting fade away,
fade away tomorrow another day
Just reach and you will find it
Unleash the chains that bind it
Show her your persistence

Mother sea is calling
She will hold you true
Let her currents guide you
Straight for something new
Her tide is reaching outward
To a barren land
Washed away your castle
You'll find me in the sand
Sail again
Sail again

That is DEEP.

I'll probably lose my macho-ness for saying this, but with that skill, why haven't you found a women yet?

you have not lost your "macho-ness"
but you have shown the power to understand...
