Dispath Steeples Lyrics

Steeples Lyrics

I heard a story about a boy, who was swept off the deck

 the sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck

 but it did not end there, the boy began to swim

 and dared to the sea that dared to invade him

 

 [CHROUS:]

 did you ever want to know me

 did you ever feel like I could

 it's a silent steeple that carries us down

 it's a silent steeple

 

 but the sea wouldn't so much as reply

 so the boy swore to the ships that were fated to die

 red sky at night, sailors take delight

 red sky in the morning, sailors take warning

 sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back

 

 we were going with the wind in our hair

 and we didn't want to look back 'cause if we did We would not care

 

 and if we all were to die now

 well it wouldn't be that bad

 'cause the boy in the waves said he'd give us everything, everything he had

 to go on and trace that scar, like we did ten years before

 

 [chorus]

 

 sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back

 sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
