From Across the Sea

from You Always Burn Your Feathers by Ali George

lyrics

I can see you rolling on home again,
Like a rambling child, lost in the rain.
Your dishevelled hair is dishevelled, still;
And your tattered shoes have had their fill this time.

Well, your fiery eyes have a kindly glow,
But your lively hands are as cold as snow.
I can feel your love from across the sea.
I can feel the waves wash over me, so cool.

When you come back home I will kiss you, strong.
And I’ll keep you in my arms so long.
I will never know why you love me so.
You’re the kind of girl that everyone wants to know.

I don’t wanna lie alone tonight.
I don’t wanna wait ‘til morning light.
I love you, through and through.
I don’t ever wanna lose you.

All your lively life you’ve been travelling;
And I’m worried what the future’s gonna bring.
Will the fire burn in your restless heart?
Will you take flight when the mountains start to sing?

I can see you rolling on home again,
Like a rambling child, lost in the rain.
Your dishevelled hair is dishevelled, still;
And your tattered shoes have had their fill this time.
Yes, I love you, through and through.
I don’t ever wanna lose you.
