And I held the breath inside my lungs for days And I saw myself as one of many ways When I knew that I'd become the ocean's slave I just stayed And we carried forward all the waters past Of the waves I was not first, I was not last And if we saw a boat afloat, we took the mast So fast There's a part of it that I miss At the heart of it, your cold kiss From the start of it, I know this There's always a part of it For too long the waves grew out of hand And they worked to keep the sea at their command And the only thing they feared had seen the sand Dry land There's a part of it that I miss At the heart of it, your cold kiss From the start of it, I know this There's always a part of it From the water there was born a bright blue rose As it rolled and foamed and calmed the ocean's flow And it finally rose and broke upon the shore No more There's a part of it that I miss At the heart of it, your cold kiss From the start of it, I know this There's always a part of it There's a part of it that I miss At the heart of it, your cold kiss From the start of it, I know this There's always a part of it There's always a part of it
