lirik lagu the uprooted - a letter back home
[verse 1]
to a sad seafarer’s maiden
it’s been weeks since i’ve seen your eyes
i’ve scoured the waves for some resemblance
the way they crest, the way they die
but the sea, you see, she hates men like me
the sort that leave a lover home
so the waves, the clouds, the creaking bow
tell me i’ve left us both alonе
[chorus]
can i break free of this siren’s song?
will i turn ’round to find you waiting
with eyеs fixed far across the sea?
will this crashing, salty spray
bring me back to you someday?
but for all your lies, my briny eyes
see at least adrift i’m free
[refrain]
no, we’re no more lost at sea
than we ever were on land
since you took me by the hand
[verse 2]
the captain says our faithful ship
is something like my heart
but for all his age and wisdom
he doesn’t see he’s made a farce
the patchwork sails withstand ocean gales
and never bend or break
but your winds, those sighs, your sparkling eyes
have proved too much for me to take
[interlude]
but my love, don’t lose your hope
i know my heart will guide me home
with each setting sun
the waves look more like your eyes
[verse 3]
the men use weathered scars and calluses
to mask their heavy hearts
then they talk of their sad maidens
of their own loves they’ve left apart
o’er grog and gin, they’ll spill their sins
until they start to drown
by enduring that same loneliness
you use to tie me down
[verse 4]
i could fill these pages end to end
to you they’d be blank all the same
i could send ten thousand postcards
and still i’d never know your gaze
i could set afloat one million notes
and i’d never know your touch
without you, i’m all that i have
although i don’t amount to much
[refrain]
no, we’re no more lost at sea
than we ever were on land
since you took me by the hand
[outro]
to a sad seafarer’s maiden
were you ever really mine at all?
i’ve searched the stars for hope and answers
the way they gleam, the way they fall
i felt welcome, there, in the cold night air
more than i ever did at home
now the sails, the ropes, my ragged hope
tell me for once i’m not alone
