As the Ship Sets Sail
Pull up your anchor and put up your sails
For tonight i promise, my heart will not fail
and i will not be there to hail
say goodbye, ‘fore your ship sets sail…
For many long years I’ve stayed
beside you and never refrained
from giving up all that I can
but i can no longer fake
This pain inside of me stays
everytime i see you look away
grows and grows every minute
i can no longer twist and spin it
To make your image whole
clear from all the faults
But today a life in me blast
taking away all tears of the past
When it ever got cold
watching the fire burn out
I would shed my skin
cover you up in a sprout
If the life in you dried
and your heart refused to beat
I would’ve torn mine out
and laid it at your feet
If the blood in your veins
refused to run and drained
I would give every drop of mine
to you without refrain
When you cry
I’d give the world to see you smile
and when you smile
In joy i’ll fly
But all what I said and did was not enough to keep
you here beside me and away from all the pain
your weary soul could’ve held in strain,
out in the world and at the hand of fate
So tonight i will not see you go away
and feel my heart break as your ship sets sail
But never forget that i will always be there
for you, if the world doesn’t hold you…dear
