In An Open Sea Lyrics - Singles - Jarboe

the bridge is long and narrow 

the hills are burned by sorrow 

the black crow died of blackness 

the moon gave up his madness 

but when two hearts like ours return 

to the open sea 

no arm can pull us down 

no angel beneath the water 

can never pull us under 

some eyes can seal no secrets 

but time erodes a surface 

a snake swims the ocean 

in an earth that turns for no one 

but when two minds like ours dream 

in an open sea 

no steel door can close us in 

no cruel angel at the gate 

will ever seal our fate 

the bridge is long and narrow 

the hills drown in sorrow 

the black crow died of blackness 

the moon gave up his madness 

but when two hearts like ours return 

to the open sea 

but when two minds like ours dream 

in an open sea 

no cruel arm can pull us down 

no steel door can close us in 

no angel beneath the water 

will ever take us under 

in an open sea 

we're in an open sea 

in an open sea
