Verse
We sent out the SOS call
It was a quarter past four
In the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea.
Four months of calm seas
to be pounded in the shallows
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
They call them rogues.
They travel fast and alone,
One hundred foot faces
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
What they call love is a risk,
'Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere
CM7 Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.
Chorus
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
Em A7sus2 | % |
To bail us out.
But it flooded the engines and radio
Em A7sus2 | % |
half buried bow.
Interlude

Verse
Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
The vessel groans
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day
To give my love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
Chorus
They say that the captain
Stays fast with the ship
Through still and storm.
But this ain't the Dakota.
And the water is cold.
A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.
Ending
This is the end.
This story's old
But it goes on and on
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
This story's old
But it goes on and on
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
This is the end.
