I, the Sea Lyrics

I thought you were my lighthouse

Calling me to shore

But my waves were not welcomed

By your stone

Your light shone in the darkness

Beckoning to come

But I soon learned you liked to be alone

Proud lonely island

Tall stern tower

The fire in your hearth burns alone for your heart is as cold as stone

Self-inflicted castaway

With a false high and lonely destiny

Heart that never tried to hold the sea

I, the sea, was softer

I showed you my soul

But hearts stay safe

When they are stone

My waves were clear as glass

But fear was in your bones

That if your door was opened you'd be known

Proud lonely island

Tall stern tower

The fire in your hearth burns alone for your heart is as cold as stone

Self-inflicted castaway

With a false high and lonely destiny

Heart that never tried to hold the sea

I thought you were my lighthouse

I thought your light called to me

But all you ever wanted

Was to be seen

Oh proud lonely island

I, the sea, I tried

You let me slip away with the tide

Proud lonely island

Tall stern tower

The fire in your hearth burns alone for your heart is as cold as stone

Self-inflicted castaway

With a false high and lonely destiny

Heart that never tried to hold the sea
