lyrics

There is this Pit
And it wants all my years
And it's hunger it's fierce
It needs my tears,
all my humanly years
just to see how it feels
And keeps asking more
and always for more
I'm growing so old
My hair getting grey
I can't take no more
My feet feeling soar
My feet walk no shore
I sit all alone
Ow, what I've become
Is subject to none
I sit in the dark
I think about her
I think about us
Whatever I done
Was never enough
I tried, and I tried but...
There is this Pit
and I gave it my years
Thrown them down in the deep
There is this Pit
What a horrible thing?
Sucks the life out of me
And though it's not clear
the concept beneath
this bottomless Pit
I come every year
And I feed and I feed
The girl wants to quit,
the boy never sleeps
Some millions miles
away at the Sea
The girl wants someone
A shoulder to hold,
somebody to love
who is more flesh n' bones
and not like some ghost
who sits on his watch
for the dead travel fast
and I'm left all alone
I'm left all alone
A lifespan I owned
lies down in a hole
And where I will go?
But don't say that we don't try
Don't say that we don't cry
Don't say that we are alive
Don't say that we are alike
Don't say that you are mine
Don't say that you don't mind
Don't say that you will find
The courage to stay behind
Don't say that we are the same
Don't say you understand
Don't say that we are the same
Don't say you will wait
Don't say it!
For you'll never be
a being of the Sea!
