A man came from a cold dark land
To give his boy the warm wind and sea
But the ocean swelled and pulled him in
He almost lost his boy that day
Her man went down to drink his fill
Her brother brought his guns out to play
The shots came out and went back in
She almost lost her love that day
The night came down upon the sea
My friend went out to take in a swim
They say he drowned himself to sleep
I think about him now and then
My mama’s love had disappeared
He could not keep his demons away
They found him dead in an old truck bed
My mama lost her love that day

Night Sea Waltz

I’ve been alone forever it seems
Down on my own where the wind moves the sea
Bent on my sorrows head in my knees
No one for miles away coming to see
Over my home a cloud disappears
Knowing that I’ve been in trouble for years
Me and my ocean and my winter blue
Out here with no one and nothing to do
I’ve been alone forever it seems
Down on my own where the wind moves the sea
You were my ocean that never could be
You took my eyes away now I don’t see

Cold And Cruel

Oh moon you come to me and bring me sorrow
And drown me in the ocean by the sea
But you don’t need to be so cold and cruel
The weight of all the sea is still inside you
I hear the ocean trembling
I know you need me baby
Oh moon you comfort me when I am troubled
When ocean currents drown me deep
And all the ways you came inside the room
And all the things you said you’d keep inside you

The night goes by like slow winds do
I close my eyes and dream of you
Your eyes go by
The moon is bright
All night through
The stars above are cold and blue
I close my mind and dream of you
Your eyes go by
The world is right
All night through
You don’t see what I do
When the night winds call
And the storm is raging
And the old moon falls
The night goes by like slow winds do
I close my eyes and dream of you
Your eyes go by
The world is right
All night through
All night through

Ocean Tears

I like your desert smile
I like your ocean tears
I know my mouth is dry
I’ve spent a thousand years
I hear your mountains roar
I feel your ocean breathe
I see your big black wall
I crashes down on me
You are the sun and moon
You are a night at sea
I run to be with you
You run away from me
I’d run the moon for you
I’d try and kill the sea
I loved you more than him
I’ll love you endlessly
I hear your mountains roar
I feel your ocean breathe
I see your big black wall
I crashes down on me
And now the moon is full
And all the air is grey
The ocean plays its tune
Like trouble’s on its way
I see the canyon sink
And fall into the sea
I run to be with you
You run away from me

The Devil's Road

Baby don’t be cruel
You know I need you too
But time it rolls like a train
And you and me won’t be so down someday
I’m on the devil’s road
I’m feeling so worn down
A million people sing
But I can’t hear them now
The devil’s on my trail
I feel him all around
I want to be with you
But I can’t sleep until I’m…
Baby I can see
The things you want me to be
But oceans break on their own
And you won’t make me believe in sorrow
I’ve run a thousand miles
I’ll run into the ground
To give you what you want
But I can’t please you now
The devil’s on my trail
I feel him all around
I want to be with you
But I can’t sleep until I’m…
The moon is drowning in the sea
I see it drift away from me
The wind is in the trees babe
Your eyes are on the sea
Baby don’t be cruel
You know I need you too
But time it rolls like a train
And you and me won’t be so down someday
I’m on the devil’s road
I’m feeling so worn down
A million people sing
But I can’t hear them now
The devil’s on my trail
I feel him all around
I want to be with you
But I can’t sleep until I’m…

Blood Moon

I spent last night out on the sea
The red moonlight fell down like blood on me
The stars went by I thought of you
The wind that night moved like you used to do
The world is love that breaks and bleeds above
I spent last night out on the sea
The red moonlight fell down like blood on me
The stars went by I thought of you
The wind that night moved like you used to do
