Sailing Away

Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away
I saw your footprints press in the clay
Now I watch them
Watch them wash in the wake
and now you go
and now you go
and here I lie alive
my lungs reluctant
waves pulling, pulling, pulling
pulling on my skin
Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away
I sat here a long time
watching the sun fall
wondering what you'd say
if you said anything at all
and I cut a trail in the cemetery fog
and I'm calling
calling your name in the dark
and now you go
and now you go
and here I lie alive
my lungs reluctant
waves pulling, pulling, pulling
pulling on my skin
Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away
I saw your footprints press in the clay
Now I watch them
Watch them wash in the wake
