The Sailor

[Verse 1] I see you, Through your veil, No longer the fool, The face you hide so well. You've been hurt, Someone snuffed your light, And from the dirt, Arose the new blight. [Chorus] A rose de-thorned, Someone stole your flame, Did you survive the storm? Or was it a hurricane? [Verse 2] Eyes like ice, A heart of stone, Never too nice, Always alone. Never too numb, Never in pain, Everyone comes, At arms length. Never too close, Never too far, A warning to those, With open arms. [Chorus] A rose de-thorned, Someone stole your flame, Did you survive the storm? Or was it a hurricane? [Verse 3] You sailed the sea, Your journey; far, Tired and weary, You fell apart. [Bridge] Pulled yourself together, As best you could, But no longer tethered, To what once stood. [Chorus] A rose de-thorned, Someone stole your flame, Did you survive the storm? Or was it a hurricane? [Outro] You salvaged the pieces, And ran to the raft, The water level increasing, And all that was left, Claimed by the depths.
