Flown further than the wind carries leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinking\nlower than the roots of old trees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sun\nbeats so hard that it reddens black skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet\nwe bask in its heat and we try to begin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To\nrekindle the warmth but the candle is dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dead\nlike the cold side of a widow\u2019s bed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where\nonce there were ports<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well\nI can\u2019t berth in those lies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like\nlightning strikes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From\nthe murderous skies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where\nonce there were ports<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\ncan\u2019t berth in those lies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll\nbeach this lost love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where the ships go to die
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
Hearts\nand minds swirling out of control<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not\nenough fingers for too many holes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking\non water faster than prayers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bailing\nthe sadness with a cup of despair<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shelter\nonce known, so far out of reach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dead\nand abandoned she lays on a beach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
Where\nonce there were ports<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well\nI can\u2019t berth in those lies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like\nlightning strikes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From\nthe murderous skies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
