Sudden Seas Lyrics - Singles - Forest City Lovers

look out at the water 

the sullen seas are sound 

put the mast up out of anger 

and wished for wind to come 

but a sail won't bring us forward 

if the air is still tonight 

so we'll drift around in silence till the morning brings her light 

thought i'd escape to california 

and sing someone else's songs 

took account of my shortcomings 

left them all in oregon 

but shortcomings have a heartbeat 

and a pulse not be ignored 

spread my feelings out like fire 

left them burning on the floor 

but i can't bring us forward 

if the air is still tonight 

so we'll drift along in silence 

till the morning shows her light 

and then perhaps a breeze will come 

and move our tired limbs 

for i'm so sick of walking 

i've almost given in 

i'll sleep on it. 

look out at the water 

the sullen seas are sound 

put the mast up out in anger 

and wished for wind to come 

but a sail won't push us forward 

if the air is still tonight 

so we'll drift along in silence till the morning brings her light 

and then perhaps a breeze will come 

and move our tired limbs 

for i'm so sick of walking 

i've almost given in 

i'll sleep on it.
