Rockin' on shelves and stones by the water
To find something that was mine
You who walk with me are so far away
I realize there's no further
distance than time
I saw your face,
I looked for your face in the sea
Out in the harbor, sail silhouetted
Deep in my heart
I thought you were coming for me
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
And it wasn't true when I told you
I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
I saw you wake, alone in the morning
You opened the window to see
Out in the dark, a storm all around us
Light in the clouds, in the light
Can you ever see me?
I reached out to touch you,
it wasn't a lie when I called
It wasn't true when I told you
I loved you
Then it starts with a lie after all
Watching, standing,
standing up close to the wall
Standing without you
Standing alone
With no shadow at all
Walking along
Over stones, by the water,
feeling the wet of the rain
Echoes of footsteps vanish in darkness,
they disappear along with
the sound of my name
I reached out to touch you,
it wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you
I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you
I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
Yes, it starts with a lie after all
No, wasn't a lie after all
you
