lyrics

Long ago when all was new
I leaned too far away from you
I leaned on out across the sea
To see what I would see

I thought I saw another day
Another light, some other way
I held it and it
stretched into the sky

Don't waste your heartache
Mistake on mistake
When the wind calls your name
Let the wind take you home

Long before the broken songs
Before the sea went green
And the wind went wrong
I turned towards the spinning sky
The diamond sea
The endless hum

I thought I saw another day
Another light, some other way
I held it and it
stretched into the sky

Don't waste your heartache
Mistake on mistake
When the wind calls your name
Let the wind take you home

Let out the long lines
Light up the night fires
Let the tide take your dreams
Let the sand hold your bones
