Dixie Chicks - Storm Out On The Sea lyrics

As a girl I watched the sailing ships Like white birds on the sea Their sails were wings that rode the wind My heart longed to be free I saw you standing by the sea The beach was dark as d**h But your hand was warm against my face Your kiss was my life's breath And lovin' you's like drowning in a storm out on the sea Put your arms around me darling Now and rescue me And lovin' you's like drowning and I feel so all alone Put your arms around me And I'll never sail alone You never said you'd stay with me I never tied your hands The way some frightened women do to keep their love on land Where they can walk dry-footed And never fear the tide Or the moon upon the water In their lover's arms they hide The rain upon my body beat me down upon the sand And the clouds came low and lonely Loke lost sailors seeking land Soon I learned that lovin' you means drowning in the sea And you turned your back on me
