A certain type of wind has swept me up

But till it's found each bone

I, I'm overcome

There is an icy breath out that escapes my lips

And I am lost again

A certain type of darkness is stalling me

Under a quite mask of uncertainty

I wait for light like water from the sky

And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships

A lover's without size, you're the only way out of it

A sea of lovers losing time

A lover's losing hope, will you let me follow you

Wherever you go, bring me home

A certain type of silence is filled my voice

A spring beneath the water makes no noise

All my prayers were quiet, never heard

And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships

A lover's without size, you're the only way out of it

A sea of lovers losing time

A lover's losing hope, will you let me follow you

Wherever you go, bring me home

A certain type of wind has swept me up

But till it's found each bone

I, I'm overcome

There is an icy breath out that escapes my lips

And I am lost again

In the sea of lovers without ships

A lover's without size, you're the only way out of it

A sea of lovers losing time

A lover's losing hope, you're the only way out of it

A the sea of lovers without ships

A lover's without size, you're the only way out of it

A sea of lovers losing time

A lover's losing hope, will you let me follow you

Wherever you go, bring me home
