When Ships Sail Out To Sea

from EP by Spencer Scott

/

lyrics

It was the wintertime,
We watched the ships sail out to sea.
I held your hands in mine,
And told you what you meant to me.
We kissed on the hillside,
I was as happy as could be.
When I told you I loved you,
We watched the ships sail out to sea.

In my Grandma’s old house,
You were so happy you could cry.
I sung about sinking ships,
I sung a drunken lullaby.
You turned to me and said,
“You are a perfect fucking guy”.
In my grandma’s old house,
I was so happy I could cry.

When the earth turns its back on the sun,
When it’s clear that the day is done,
I am sorry I was not what you dreamed,
I wasn't the heroes you watched on TV.

It was the afternoon,
You came over to see me.
You were holding all my things,
I could see that this was the ending.
You were so scared,
I had to say it out loud for you,
And then you left me with a book, a shirt and memories of you.

On the night you left I swore I saw a ghost,
and for the first time you were not there to hold me close.
I hardly slept that night, I hardly slept at all.
I spent hours and hours with eyes wide open staring at the wall.

When the earth turns its back on the sun,
When it’s clear that the day is done,
I am sorry I was not what you dreamed,
I wasn't the heroes you watched on TV.
