No Graves but the Sea

Lyrics for No Graves but the Sea

I loved to walk barefoot on the shores Just to feel the coarse sand between my toes To hear the waves crushing and roar And to hear the ocean calling my name Calling me home Raise your glass to the ones we loved For whom we cried at night For those who left this place too early In my dreams I hold you tight Raise your glass to the ones we loved For whom we cried at night I'll see you on the other side Where shadows reach for light For what we've lost like a you & me It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea To the pain of pure hearts Bleak skies and the sea To the mountains and tides As they fall so do we No man steps in the same river twice For it's a different river, a different man But through him flows the river of time And the time shared becomes a memory or a scar I love to feel the bare stones between my hands To gasp and fill my lungs with cold air To sense the wind, not breaking young hearts, but branches To hear the mountains now and then calling my name Finally calling me home And now as I stand here in the clouds It starts hurting a little less Since I know I'm not alone anymore Since I know I'm gonna sleep through this storm Drink with me to the days gone by And the life that used to be Drink with me to the days gone by To the life we used to live Father ocean, oh, mother sea Come lady death and wear your crown Cause the seas words were always more honest Speaking to those willing to drown For what we've lost like a you & me It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea To the pain of pure hearts Bleak skies and the sea To the mountains and tides AS THEY FALL SO DO WE
