Lyrics[]
You've whispered out loud But your breeze doesn't bend We're lying in the palm of your hand No land we see, no place to be The salt of your tears, adds stain to our hearts There's no long years can tear us apart Our futures entwined with your past Because when we lie awake We'll be thinking of you Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Bravado is all but gone And patience is down You scared us and you've turned us around But you won't let us drown Because when we lie asleep We'll be dreaming of you Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home So answer us when we call And say if you think we're old When life is so short we can stay long But you'll never be alone Because one day we'll return We'll be waiting for you Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
