The Scourge Of The Sea - Waterwings lyrics

I dove in without any water wings To save something I thought was worth saving I saw you tied to a rock in the sand I tried to be gentle and held out my hand But you said, "It's no use, it's been so long I've tried out weapons, I've tried out my songs In love, there's no love that can't be denied I only trust people after they've died" I thought I knew what you needed to hear A sad song, a new film, a pitcher of beer I came to bring back the red blood of youth And ended up trapped in a telephone booth When I touched the rock, it turned into a dove Floated to surface and vanished above I turned to look at you, pale from the shock You turned me into a rock
