Anoushka Shankar - Sea Dreamer lyrics

Same tide that drew me closer Pushed me far away I held the hand that lit the dark night Then with nothing I could say I was on the outside I was waiting for a sign I set a course for a hidden island That lay beyond the deceiving silence I was on the dark side I was sailing towards the light I made my way through a sea of sirens A pirate's life full of worthless diamonds I try and listen to the music when the ocean breathes Wish that I could build a bridge across the sea And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free That's where I'll be Same sign that drew me closer Jealous howling wind The memory of the safest shoreline Never find again I was on the outside I was waiting for the right I fought my way through a sea of violence But you never heard me scream in silence I was on the dark side I was sailing through the night I'm playing cards at the devil's table I lost my hand to a hand-less table Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free Is that where you'll be? I was on the outside I was waiting for a sign I set a course for a hidden island That lay beyond the deceiving silence Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free I'll be on the outside Far beyond the rising tide Where you'll be searching far and wide For what you lost along the ride When you sail to find me Let the wind remind thee Of a shipwrecked sailor that was saved by a maiden And sent out to sea That's where I'll be A million, million miles away Sea dreamer till my dying day
