Richard Barrett - The Ship Of the Seasick Sailor lyrics

[Verse 1] Running to the empty spaces Of a love that we once shared In between the lipstick traces To a time that we once had [Hook] You mistook me for a man, that I once knew You caught me unprepared That's why on the tide of an ocean of failure An ocean of love in my heart [Chorus] Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier Bury the flag slung over his shoulder Maybe you could love me again Maybe you could love me again Then and only then Because it hurts to be your friend [Verse 2] I've been to all the lonely places We fought once to defend I'd hate to be your enemy Because it hurts to be your friend [Hook] You mistook me for a man, that I once knew You caught me unprepared That's why on the tide of an ocean of failure An ocean of love in my heart [Chorus] Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier Bury the flag slung over his shoulder Maybe you could love me again Maybe you could love me again Then and only then Because it hurts to be your friend [Bridge] The sea is calm The door is locked We're safe from harm The ship is docked The battle's over The war is won Screen fades to black In a setting sun [Chorus (Outro)] Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier Bury the flag slung over his shoulder Maybe you could love me again (All I can do is ... Love) Maybe you could love me again (All I can do is ... Love) Then and only then Because it hurts to be your friend
