Over The Rhine - Sea and Sky lyrics

You and me and a couple of dusty volumes

I wanna be your Messiah but there's no way

I feel the tide roll in around us

You be the sea and I'll be the sky

I want you with me now don't wonder why

You be the sea and I'll be the sky

Endeavor with me now don't wonder why

This love's like a labyrinth but I'm not afraid

You and me and a strong sense of forever

Like the old Swiss Family Robinson let's drift away

If we go down at least we'll drown together

(I can't forget you)

You be the sea and I'll be the sky

I want you with me now don't wonder why

You be the sea and I'll be the sky

Endeavor with me now don't wonder why

It's a little like this

It's a little like being afraid

It's a little like yesterday

Though I don't mean to invade

Clouds rolled in front of your face

Your tears became the rain

I heard wonderful thunder

As you murmured

As you murmured my name

(Take me far away,

Teach my soul to feel that way

You take me far away

It's wonderful, wonderful)

Roll away

Roll away with me

You be the sea and I'll be the sky
