lyrics

Silent are the waves before they crash into the rocks,
The safest place for me to stand is on the clifftops.
Empty are the bays below, empty are the coves.
Where are all the siren songs?
Where the mermaids dove.

I want to sing until the air outside my lungs is filled,
There goes my melody over the grey North Sea.

Trembling in the wind I wait for your return,
You sailed away but I had to stay,
Hear my yearning words.
But now I see you in the distance,
You're getting closer now.
Bring back a harmony for me as you reach solid ground.

I want to sing until the air outside my lungs is filled,
There goes my melody over the grey North Sea.

I'll be your lighthouse in the dark,
No treading water, just get back safely now.
No myths and no tricks, I'm here to guide you home.
My song is honest, so glad I'll see you soon.

I want to sing until the air outside my lungs is filled,
There goes my melody over the grey North Sea.
I want to sing until, the air outside my lungs is filled,
Here comes my melody over the grey North Sea.
Coming back to me.
