Lyrics
Enemies Of The Ocean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out under bright silver skies, I accept it
Quick skip to the end, let you go
Still single frames from our life
Stream before my eyes
Like a distant slideshow
How were we to know
The river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Seats on the last flight
Sunsets and moonlight
How were we to know?
Best of the first days
Christmas and birthdays
How were we to know
Thе river ever would bеnd?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
In time, when the high will subside
Send in the jaws of life
Send in the jaws of life
In time, when the high will subside
Send in the jaws of life
Send in the jaws of life
Charm of the off-chance roulette
Set an opening bet so low, seemed like I'd won
Forge that signature, lack of conviction
Combined with commitment so vast
It confounds everyone
How were they to know
The river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
Seats on the last flight
Sunsets and moonlight
How were we to know
The river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
