Nora I miss you
Where have you been
People keep crashing into me
And I let them in
There's nothing out here
It's just green and blue
The stars look like thunderclouds
And I'm lost from view
Do you think I'll escape
And run to your room
I bet it's still singing
And watching the moon
Who knows what I'll become
After all is said and done
Cause when the water breaks
Who knows how much more I can take
I remember when your hair would fall underneath the silent beams
Of radiating melodies of burning suns and silver dreams
You looked at me and slowly screamed for all that we could never be
Our mountain's crumbled into dust and now I'm dying in the sea
Well honestly I don't think we were ever here
As our eyes kept crossing paths and tracing tears
It was never very sane, all the words we had to say
That pick ourselves up from our bones and carry us away
Almighty and alone, I'll take this melody and keep
Those iridescent skies that never sleep
I know it wasn't long, I know it wasn't much
But you know you were the only one I could ever truly touch
I'll tell you every tale I've never known
From the bow of my old steel Brooklyn home
And Nora won't you take a breath for me
One day you may even hear me singing in the sea
Well I'm tired, I'm tired
Of bugles and alarms
Let me sail sweetly
Into God's empty arms
