Lyric

Silence on the pier

Just the waves — no one near

Every morning at the café

I'd watch you quietly pass my way

My lips would shake each time you'd near

But words would drown and disappear

My eyes would follow, heart in flight

But words would vanish with the tide

Each day I tried to find the phrase

But silence always took its place

All my words die at sea

In the salt, they slip away from me

All my words die at sea

Now there’s nothing left but to leave

An envelope came one day

White and gold in perfect display

My heart just shattered in my chest

All my words died like the rest

I watched you say "yes" to his face

My words sank deep without a trace

I sat alone and couldn’t breathe

This ache just wouldn’t let me speak

I signed a deal just yesterday

A freighter ship will sail away

All my words die at sea

I’m heading far from memory

(Far, so far…)

All my words die at sea

From the deck I watch the line

Where sky and water intertwine

With every mile I drift apart

The words keep sinking in my heart

There's salt still burning on my tongue

My voice is lost, my song unsung

I wouldn’t know my way back now

All my words die at sea

In the salt, they slip away from me

All my words die at sea

Now there’s nothing left but to leave

Silence on the sea

The words... in the sea
