It's a cold night, I should hold you
As you tell me the bad news
That you're locked away from me
That you're leaving me lonely
It's the wrong night to have bad dreams
Cause I know what it all means
As I'm dragged way down under
In the storm and the thunder
Longing for the walls to break down
No one hears you when you're drowning
Somebody hold back the flood
Cause I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, counting down our broken years
See I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, as the day disappears
It's a long night, I can't sleep
Waters flowing round my feet
And it's making me colder
Like we've grown so much older
There's a river underneath us
Rising up to defeat us
Full of fear full of danger
Like a terrible stranger
Lonely but for all I stay home
Slowly sinking and I'm thinking
When is the dam gonna break?
Cos I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, counting down our broken years
See I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, as the day disappears
Longing for the walls to break down
No one hears you when you're drowning
Somebody hold back the flood
It's a cold night, I should hold you
As you tell me the bad news
That you're locked away from me
That you're leaving me lonely
It's the wrong night to have bad dreams
Cause I know what it all means
As I'm dragged way down under
In the storm and the thunder
See I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, counting down our broken years
See I'm sailing on a pool of tears
And I'm waiting, as the day disappears
See I'm sailing
And I'm waiting
See I'm sailing
And I'm waiting
