Steeples Lyrics - Silent Steeples - Dispatch

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 

Did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

And did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

It's a silent steeple 

That carries us down 

It's a silent steeple 

But the sea would not so much as reply 

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

Red sky at night, sailors delight 

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning 

Did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

And did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

It's a silent steeple 

That carries us down 

It's a silent steeple 

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 

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 that 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 

Did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

And did you ever want to know me 

And did you ever feel like I could 

It's a silent steeple 

That carries us down 

It's a silent steeple 

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 

Sail on, take it back 

Sail on
