Vanna

Lyrics

in the name of a woman
standing anxious at a window
counting waves to see
our letters wash up
swearing us safe
cut through the night
close your eyes
and ride the wind

into the depths
her flowing beauty
never said what would become of us
a truth too great for concern
she wore her heart
like a blood red stain
on the chest of a velvet gown
thrown bare at the mouth of hell

and all the grace
that she gave to the world
comes down tonight
comes down tonight
so we share
our frozen gaze
an assuring bond
to carry on
to carry on

we'll never be the same
no we'll never be the same

home becomes our sun
breaking the horizon
like a spotlight to tired eyes
brilliant as the sun
breaking the horizon
like a spotlight to tired eyes

so we lit the sails
and cast ourselves in

to the searching eyes
we were a wreck
a sight for miles
a scene to break
a thousand hearts
if on ashes
we wash ashore
then by the sea we are spared
we are spared and pure

into the depths
her flowing beauty
never said what would become of us
a truth too great for concern
she wore her heart
like a blood red stain
on the chest of a velvet gown
thrown bare at the mouth of hell

never forget
the fury of a well aimed promise

we'll never be the same
no we'll never be the same
