A long lost love song written out at sea by Kjelti Katherine.
lyrics
Long ago I was a landlocked lady never sailed no ocean blue.
These sealegs been shaking since the moment when I first laid eyes on you.
Crashing waves as far as the eye can see, darlin’ you made and island out of me.
Holding my breath while you’re lost out at sea, darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Uncharted waters, asked my father for his daughter sayin’ she can make a man of me.
After all we navigated, pulled the anchor and you left me out at sea.
Cast adrift, tidal words set you free, but darlin’ you made an island out of me. Each grain of sand is proof of my certainty, darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Twisted white rope, the remnants of our fears, you stole the boat holding back all those years, you wanna find me, but you burned the map, only the stars can lead you back.
Closin’ my eyes, I can feel you on the breeze, darlin’ you made an island out of me. Horizon shapes, I cast a glance to appease, my darlin’ you made an island out of me.
Ocean blue ocean blue what would I do if I hadn’t met you, ocean blue ocean blue, sitting and watching and waiting for you. Angry sea angry sea braving those darkened waters for me, angry sea angry sea where would you be if you hadn’t met me.
