Lyrics The Strange Death Of Liberal England - Rising Sea

The due drops as the wind blows the trees
And the leaves cascade like the tears running down my face
I see the lights of a distant ship that disappears
Into the night without a trace

I put out my hands to touch your body
But feel nothing but cold, hard bones
Sitting on benches with names engraved
Of people trying to hold onto something in vein

I hear the wind, I hear the rain
Fall against the window pain
And run into the rising sea
That exists between you and me

The church silhouettes the skyline and
Stretches above the waterline
So run out the doors and climb up the stairs
Where people go to change troubles with prayers

I blaspheme every night so that I can feel what it's like to be
Scared to death for half your life and always running from a raging sea

I hear the wind, I hear the rain
Fall against the window pain
And run into the rising sea
That exists between you and me

I've been scared to death for half my life

I hear the wind, I hear the rain
Fall against the window pain
And run into the rising sea
That exists between you and me

There's a rising sea between you and me
There's a rising sea that's drowning me
