lyrics

I stood on the dock that struck out from the shore
I buried my head, waited five hours more
I kept my eyes low, to escape the cold breeze
But I kept them on the horizon to see
You sail back in through The Heads
To sail right back to my bed
Once again.

You’d been gone so long, I no longer wept
You’d been charmed by the sea since we took our first steps
And the ocean around here is saltier still
For it catches the tears I try not to spill
As you sail back out through The Heads
As you sail away from our bed
Once again

We’re the young and we’re the dumb and we’re the free
We’re the wild and the innocent. You and me.
We’re the young and we’re the dumb and we’re the free
You’re the wild and the innocent. You’re the sea.

And this child inside me, continues to grow
Will he be like his father, a slave to the boats
With brine in his veins and a hatred of land
Will you be back to guide him and make him a man
As he follows you out through The Heads
To leave another girl alone in his bed
Once again

We’re the young and we’re the dumb and we’re the free
We’re the wild and the innocent. You and me.
We’re the young and we’re the dumb and we’re the free
You’re the wild and the innocent. You’re the sea.

Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
