Absolution

We once sailed across an ocean
Leaving desert storms behind
Chasing shadows off the shoreline
We were people trapped on line
Never rescued from this boat of destiny
Screaming out cos we were loves emergency
Now she was feeling kind of restless
And her mind began to stray
And now I never seem to notice
That extra twist of fate that she would play
Slipping out from under sheets at dead of night
And taking down her modesty well out of sight
Absolution of your heart
Absolution of your mind
Absolutely out of time
Absolution of your heart
Absolution of your mind
Absolutely out of time
Now I was feeling kind of seasick
As the boat began to rage
Yes I was caught between the hopeless
And the hopelessness she made
Will she ever ask forgiveness
(I don't know)
And if she did
Well I would surely have to show no
Absolution of your heart
Absolution of your mind
Absolutely out of time
Absolution of your heart
Absolution of your mind
Absolutely out of time
She laid heavy on my mind
Oh lord help me an angel to find
I see a change of season coming on to me
Whater the future
What will be what will be.
