Lyrics:

I set out on your sea dear
Believing there was just one single soul to save
But these years I have been drifting
And each day have been drenched by your ice cold waves

Oh my love is sinking in me like a stone
And I know I will never lay my head on you again

So you offered me shelter
And claimed all the power to nurse me back to health
And you said we could sleep here like children
But I was hardly more than a child myself

Oh my love is breaking in me like a storm
And I’m sworn I will never lay my head on you again

So turn away
Turn away
For I do not love you
And I have turned away from you

I said turn away ...

And I have made the man monster
For that is what all good children’s tales are for
But now I know what they did to you
And we are not children any more

Oh my love is frozen in me like the snow
And I know I will never lay my head on you again

So turn away
Turn away
For I do not love you
I have turned away from you

I said turn away ...

I set out on your sea dear
Though I was too far out to see it then
That you were not waving but drowning
And now I will never lay my head on you again
