It Bites - The Tall Ships lyrics

There's an ocean, and as far as I can see It must end eventually This distance is discreet Slowly water, it will wash right over me When perfection is deceit If this thing was meant to be, it will be Chorus: And when the tall ships come to carry me I'll be waiting patiently And when the time has come for me to go I will try to make you see And when the tall ships come to take me home It will be with dignity And when the tall ships come… I am sorry, all the things I meant to say And words escape me every day But the words are not to blame So please listen, there's a quiet melody There's a place that falls between If this thing was meant to be, it will be (Chorus) There is the distance and if we took the time Then we would not forgive a feeling Always an ocean that I cannot define And when you draw the line Then we can start this healing, this healing (Chorus)
