Open Sea

J. Cunningham
(From the album, The Song Club)

When the light of the new day shines bright on the struggle
You’ll be out on the freeway trapped inside of a bubble
And I’ll be holding the pillow your sweet head laid upon
Clinging on to the shadow of your smell until it’s gone
Darling it’s so complicated but it’s true

I was minding my business – trying to search through the rubble
In need of assistance and you gave me a shovel
Now we’re working on something deep and wide enough for two
Something too small to run in that we could fall into
Darling it’s so complicated but it’s true

So get ready for getting ready
May the warm breezes hold us steady
Up anchor set sail for the open sea

Praying prayers for forgiveness – oh how we danced to that drummer
But as God is my witness we were made for each other
Now we’re so undercover but I’ll suffocate with you
Holding onto a lover gives life and kills you too
Darling it’s so complicated but it’s true

So get ready for getting ready
May the warm breezes hold us steady
Up anchor set sail for the open sea
We’ve been down the road already
Over the mountains and under the valley
Cut the anchor set sail for the open
Up the anchor set sail for the open
Cut the anchor set sail for the open sea
