Steeples
I heard a story about a boy who was swept off the deck
The sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck
But it did not end there, the boy began to swim
And dare to the sea that dared to invade him
Did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
It's a silent steeple that carries us down
It's a silent steeple
But the sea wouldn't so much as reply
So the boy swore to the sea to die
Red sky at night, sailors take delight
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
It's a silent steeple that carries us down
It's a silent steeple
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
We were going with the wind in our hair
And we never want to look back 'cause if we did we would not care
And if we all were to die now well it wouldn't be that bad
'Cause that boy in the waves said he'd give us everything
Everything he had to go on and trace that scar
Right on the sea like ten years before
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
It's a silent steeple that carries us down
It's a silent steeple
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Did you ever? Did you ever?
Did you ever? Did you ever?
Did you ever? Did you ever?
Did you ever want to know me?
Did you ever want to know me?
Did you ever want to know me?
Did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
And did you ever want to know me?
And did you ever feel like I could?
It's a silent steeple that carries us down
It's a silent steeple
