stare across the endless foam
thinking bout a place called home
### where i'm awaiting your return
not knowing if i would survive
the thought of you kept me alive
now months have past and port's in sight
will be sleeping in your arms tonight
### for long i dreamed about this day
but what i feel i cannot bear
empty blackness and despair
why do i feel this way
why can’t i sleep at night
painted in shadesof grey
what happened to the light
to long we've been apart my love
'vry day i prayed to the Lord above
##For me to come home again!
but things do not feel as before
did I leave my love behind at war?
Now look into my eyes and see
the remnants of my sanity
##staring right back at you
dark and twisted
blackened cold
is this the thing you'd call a soul?
why do i feel this way
why can’t i sleep at night
painted in shadesof grey
what happened to the light
i'll bite the bitter pill and leave
i'm hurt to cause you all this grieve
#you’ll always be a part of me
I need to look for this soul of mine
so carry on and do not pine
a ship's deemed safe when at port
but that's not what ships are built for
#i must face this storm alone
I must head out to sea once more
to stranger tides and distant shores
