Storm Out On The Sea Lyrics

As a girl I watched the sailing ships Like white birds on the sea Their sails
were wings that rode the wind My heart longed to be free I saw you standing by
the sea But your hand was warm against my face The beach was dark as death Your
kiss was my life's breath And lovin' you's like drowning in a storm out on the
sea  Put your arms around me darling Now and rescue me And lovin' you's like
drowning and I feel so all alone Put your arms around me You never said you'd
stay with me And I'll never sail alone  I never tied your hands Where they can
walk dry-footed The way some frightened women do to keep their love on land In
their lover's arms they hide And never fear the tide Or the moon upon the water
Loke lost sailors seeking land  And the clouds came low and lonely The rain upon
my body beat me down upon the sand Soon I learned that lovin' you means drowning
in the sea And you turned your back on me
