Oceans Apart

I lie awake another night
And weep away another day
Without you my heart's torn to pieces
So close, but yet so far away
A wretched ocean lies between us
And I lack the wings to fly
Across this tawdry sea of evil
But if you ask me to I'll try

I would swim this hateful ocean
Lying twixt us for a while
I would bleed an equal ocean
If I could only see you smile
In nightmares fierce and never-ending
I reach out across the sea
On the shore you call my name out
As the waves devour me

In the twilit clouds of evening
I can see your deep grey eyes
Thinking of you through the hours
My fallen heart begins to fly
In the moon that shines above me
I see your face and haunting smile
When your eyes meet mine in laughter
Eternity is but a while

In the wind that ruffles treetops
I hear your voice, you call to me
I try to find you on the shoreline
While I curse the vicious sea
In the grey and lonely rivers
I can see your cloudy eyes
Across this barren, cursed ocean
Here without you my heart dies
