Return to Me Lyrics

A voice cold and held dead inside
Hope waiting with silent cries
Waves rolling in overhead
Ocean calling me out of my bed
Life stolen and ripped away
Heart broken by absent swain

I can't wear this disguise
I'm losing my mind
And falling into myself
This pain can never end
You decided then
To test my soul again

This ghost I see
Please play for me
Laconic melodies
Sweet songs
Reminding
Of hope lost at sea

Now I'm looking with open eyes
For the truth in what I see
You're feeding me lies
The face you hide behind
Only living in memory
Will never return to me

Tell me of that song you play
It takes me home to simpler days
Soothing this pain inside
A mother's grief for her stolen child

What's happened to my love
Where have all the pieces of me gone
I know that you know
Don't spare my feelings now
Relate to me just how
This nightmare has to end

Calling me down to stay
This newfound despair
They'll never hear my voice
I'll never hold them near

With every rising tide
Sick fortune plays its game
Speechless and cold I'll wait
Delusion in my gaze

With one last song, I'll sing your fate
The ferry man awaits
As your soul is swept away
An empty shell I'll stay
