Ballad of the broken seas

Mark Lanegan

Composed by: Isobel Campbell
I bring you a tale of the broken seas 
and I'm drowning in whisky and beer 
my doctor reports if I don't stop soon 
I'll drown in an ocean of tears 

I looked to you and saw my desire 
went from the frying pan into the fire 
surrendered to sorrow and was undone 
now I'm praying that it won't be long 

we fucked up the sun into kingdom come 
you are under my blood and my skin 
living life at each other's throats 
in the gilded sailboat of sin 

ours was an ocean to swim around in 
ours was an ocean I should have drowned in 
my doctor reports that we must be strong 
but I'm praying that it won't be long
