Losing Wind Lyrics

Lost is the ship on the water
The tide laughs in their face
The reef is your grave sweet daughter
The beacon ashore in disgrace
They set out to be lovers forever
But the journey took more than they gave
They were losing wind
They were losing wind

Lost is the flag of the vessel
That once flew so free and so proud
With a dark secret shame they wrestle
All of their slaves call out loud
They set out to be heroes and helpers
But the journey cost more than they made
They were losing wind
They were losing wind

We speak of nations and lovers
We curse out the sea as a fiend
We wish for calm crystal waters
But we don't even know what that means
We set out to live in the moment
To yesterday's port we're still chained
Baby we're losing wind
Baby we're losing wind
Baby we're losing wind
Baby we're losing wind
