Lyrics
My heart's river has ran it's course
Now it's some water in an endless sea
I was pouring tears at its source
But there's no reason to urge and to plea
It's like we've never met before
A bitter stranger, and it shows
All my love washed up on the shore
The sea's too wide for me to row
I ink my soul by writing this song
To tend the ember, ever so strong
And I write it slow so it doesn't show
Oh sweet devotion, it's what I chose
Last night I dreamt of you anew
Last night I dreamt of seas so blue
They are watching me think about you
It always scares me to find out what's new
Maybe in some other life
I'll think of the right words that bind
That crush the resentment and all the strife
Then we'd always be intertwined
I ink my soul by writing this song
To tend the ember, ever so strong
I write it slow so it doesn't show
Oh sweet devotion, it's what I chose
One last touch, under the evening sky
I cry, and even the stars won't dance tonight
What I remember, will morph into lists
Of all that you gave me:
A key chain, some sweets and this pain in my chest
I was fading, but now I have faded away
So I can't be fading no more
I had a single thread you pulled
Until there was nothing left to be torn anymore
I ink my soul by writing this song
To tend the ember, ever so strong
I write this song, so that I show
The sweet sweet devotion, that I chose
I've got a hole where nothing grows
How little you cared, how little you know
And here's how the story ends
This is how the story ends
