Текст песни Erin, The Ocean

I came calling

One distant afternoon

Out on a long getaway

I know not why I picked up the phone.

You came to me as if in a dream

Said you felt a little feverish

We walked around the city together

To find you some needed relief.

And if everything wouldn't stay this way

For as long as it takes you

To get out from under the weather

Know that every passing second

My heart breaks

Because you'll never be getting better.

You came crawling

One fractured afternoon

And we both dried tears from our eyes

It was our hope fading

That kept us waiting

For a boat to take you off the shore

And back to your home

And in my hand are little scraps of paper

A shredded piece of blown out memory

That collapsed under the strain of sickness.

And if everything wouldn't stay this way

For as long as it takes you

To get out from under the weather

Know that every passing second

My heart breaks

Because you'll never be getting better.

Erin, the ocean is calling your name again,

We'd better hurry or you'll miss your ride

And if along the way the sun shines

Out from underneath this grey sky

Know that as long as you're keeping hope alive

I, too, will survive.
