Katzenjammer - To the Sea lyrics

The wind is a-whipping through the open door
Speaking of the sea and the rolling waves
Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now
Or struggling on the surface with
A cry for help
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Twenty years ago, it was a howling storm
As the voice of a God from a great beyond
I was standing on the shore
As the sky grew dark
With a hand on a Bible and a hand on my heart
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Because all I have left is
The voice of the wind
Blowing through the doors of our house

The sun was drying up the rainy sky
Shining gold in our sails and
Our hearts standing by
Remember what they're singing on their
Way to the sea:
"Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye for me"
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Empty were the coffins and the
House where we lived
As the grave that I dug by
Our place on the beach
How I wish the water could be
Poured out of the sea
So I could go and get you back ashore with me
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Because all I have left is
The voice of the wind
Blowing through the door
Because all I have left is
The voice of the wind
Blowing through the door (one more time)
All I have left is the voice of the wind
Blowing through the doors of our house!
