Leave me my wife
in the cold stinging surf.
Set my body ablaze, for its the first warmth I've felt.
All these wasted years, 40 cold years.
All these wasted years, Have come to pass.
Bury my heart at sea, and mark your brow with my ashes.
Tell my children I tried to love them. The best that I could.
Return my soul to the sea, and my body to the depths.
I loved you. The best that I could.
I know you'll be ok. I know you'll move right on.
Underwater I breathe, Underwater I drown.
There's no love in the depths, no love in this heart.
I died with salt in my eyes, with salt in my lungs, salt in my heart.
