lyrics

i sent you out to sea child
left you floating free
far away from me
will you write me time to time?
'cause i think i'll miss you more

when the night falls on your face
i'm on my way

how are things at home, son?
have you been left alone
from loving everyone?
did you give them just a little time, love?
a small piece of yourself?
a batten from your sails?

when the night falls on your face
i'm on my way

now the shadows on your face are moving slow
there's nowhere else to go
but it's not me
and she hums a little song
she sang when he was young
beneath the shade of a long forgotten tree
oh my god
it's not me

now the shadows on your face are creeping close
there's nowhere else to go
but it's not me
remember to be strong, compassionate and warm
and put a piece of yourself into everything you make
oh this life
is give and take
