Some Kind of Drowning Lyrics

She fled into the cold sea
Beneath a velvet sky
Wrote crinkled letters in the sand
Those hollow letters in the sand

Then suddenly this icy rain
A slowing heartbeat in the cold
And for a moment
Both earth and time stood still

I will never
Never forget you
A moment encased
In the fullness of time
I will never
Never forget you
Some kind of drowning
In the ocean of time

I fled into the bright sky
Above a scarlet sea
Became an orphan in the night
There’s no beginning to what has gone

Now that my mouth is filled with empty words
I’m still afraid to spit them out
And the tears that you have cried
They‘ve hardened in my palm

I will never
Never forget you
A moment encased
In the fullness of time
I will never
Never forget you
Some kind of drowning
In the ocean

And I was always looking back
You were always looking ahead
And somewhere in that space in between
There was no room left for a dream
