lyrics

Our sinking ship takes one last look
At the rolling sea below
And racing minds can find some strength
In knowing we can row
I love the way your hair blows 'round
When the wind cuts up rough
And the look upon your face
When you know you've had enough

So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When Love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead...

Cast away on unfriendly shores
I need you here with me
The people here they don't understand
About our life at sea
I love the way your smile fades
When you know that it's for real
And your skin it turns so clammy cold
When you're scared of how you feel

So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead...

Whenever your load gets a little too heavy
And you cannot find a rest
Give it to me and I'll carry it gently
Just put me to the test
But I know that you're too proud for that
And you'll live your life in pain
And while you carry that heavy load
I only pray that it doesn't rain

So sing a song, we're here anyway
Tell me a story 'bout some far off day
When love grows on trees
And there's fond memories
Let's tell a story instead
Let's tell a story instead
Let's tell a story instead...
