Jon English Wine Dark Sea Lyrics

Wine Dark Sea Lyrics

I have crushed the cup of you-outh

Like a rose between my fingers

But it's nectar never warmed my weary hear-eart

I have watched life
disappear-ear

Like the creepin' mists of mornin'

For these ropes
that tie me down will never part



For I have never known a
feelin'

Such as this wash over me

I would climb the purple
mountains

I would swim the wine dark sea-ea



Oh my back is
weak and my brain is dull

From the toil of many years

Workin' just
to justify my fear-ears

But all my feelin's come and go-o

And
insi-ide somethin' grows

Got to make it, try to fake it

Through my
lonely, lonely years



Until I've once again this feelin'

That
just washed over me

I would climb the purple mountains

I would swim
the wine dark sea-ea



Oh-hoh-oh, I had an idea-ea in my ha-and

To get you to change your lonely ways 

To a greener la-and

But I
got typical effectiveness

Blissful manki-ind

I let it go-o, just
didn't know-ow



And now my story's do-one

Do not fee-eel
symphathy

There is little of my body left to sa-ave

Keep on
searchin' till you fi-ind

That which prays upon your mind

Or you'll
fi-ind co-old comfort in your gra-ave



'Till I've once again this
feelin'

That just washed over me

I would climb the purple
mountains

I would swim the wine dark sea-ea

Oh I have never known a
feelin' 

Such as this wash over me-ee

I would cli-imb the purple
mountains

I will swim the wine dark sea-ea
