The Sea Meets The Sky - Tom Middleton

When the mountain touches the valley All the clouds are taught to fly As our souls will leave this land most peacefully Though our minds be filled with questions In our hearts, we'll understand When the river meets the sea Like a flower that has blossomed In dry and barren sand We are born and born again most gracefully Plus the winds of time will take us With a sure and steady hand When the river meets the sea Patience, my brothers and patience, my son In that sweet and final hour Truth and justice will be done Like a baby when it is sleeping In its loving mother's arms What a newborn baby dreams, is a mystery But his life will find a purpose And in time, he'll understand When the river meets the sea When the river meets the almighty sea

When you wake up, I'll be gone just like a sailor Hope you know that I didn't want to leave But I'll be where I always said I'll be In the place where the light meets the sea When you call, I sure wish that I could answer Hurts, I know, but it isn't up to me I hope you picture me floatin' in the breeze In the place where the light meets the sea We're all lookin' for heaven Hope that heaven's lookin' for me I'm a dreamer and I've always believed In the place where the light meets the sea All your friends say that you should be movin' on I hate to say it, but darlin', I agree I was broken, but I finally found my peace In the place where the light meets the sea

I still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window I tried to settle for the taste of touching glass over the sound of answering machines Because I love the way your voice says it's gonna get back to me someday As I brace my knees you hold me down with your eyes Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes We'll swim in circles in the blue lights It's gonna be the best day of my life And oh my God, you'll never be as beautiful without me Beauty needs an animal to breathe And baby you'll be alright as long as I'm not So do that dance in the dark Sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes We'll swim in circles in the blue lights And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean (ocean) Oh, no This is gonna be the best day (of my life) A celebration of an ending Come on! And do you really trust your tongue Or did you bury the taste? And is this fantasy real Or is it all home-made? And did you call me last night just 'cause you couldn't get laid? Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the Selfish Machine (Yeah, that's fuckin' right) Do you think you're the only one! Afraid! Do you think you're the only one! Afraid! Do you think you're the only one afraid of this machine? Someday I'll drive, close both my eyes I'll be your breath if you can be mine And I just want to fade away into the sky under the sea A million kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean waves Oh, no Oh, no (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4...) And do you see me at all under the tall waves? Do you see me at all? (La da da da da da da da... Da da da da da da...)
