Same tide that drew me closer I held the hand the lit the dark night Then with nothing I could say
I set a course for a hidden island That lay beyond the deceiving silence I was sailing towards the light I made my way through a sea of sirens A pirate's life full of worthless diamonds
I try and listen to the music Wish that I could build a bridge across the sea And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free
Same sign that drew me closer The memory of the safest shoreline
I was waiting for the right I fought my way though a sea of violence But you never heard me scream in silence I was sailing through the night I'm playing cards at the devil's table I lost my hand to a hand-less table
Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free
I set a course for a hidden island That lay beyond the deceiving silence
Every time I hear the music when the ocean breathes (I hear the music) Make me wish that I could build a bridge across the sea (across the sea) And the secrets of the moonlight would carry me (secrets of the moonlight) Where the sun meets the water and the sky breaks free (sky breaks free)
Far beyond the rising tide Where you'll be searching far and wide For what you lost along the ride Of a shipwrecked sailor that was saved by a maiden
A million, million miles away Sea dreamer 'til my dying day More from Anoushka Shankar
