If you were the storm and I, the sea,
I'd still want to keep you safe and warm and close to me.
Waters will run dry, waters we both need;
if you were the storm and I, the sea.
Capsizing my doubts and my common sense
in oceans of truth and no false pretenses;
Defenseless, I am.
Capsizing my doubts and my common sense
in oceans of truth and no false pretenses;
Defenseless, yes.
If you were the storm and I, the sea,
I'd send you every ship laying its claim over me.
Do everything you ask, but I will take the lead;
if you were the storm and I, the sea.
If you were the storm and I, the sea,
won't batten down the hatches. I want to be
eye to eye when when you stand down, and I recede;
if you were the storm and I, the sea.
