lyrics

So long I've prayed for this
But in this church can't feel your sacred kiss
And I cry everyday
As their happiness aches

So long I wait for you
In a town crumbling and ruined
The town people cry
Children say goodbye
And they're screaming at me
As I fall to my knees

So long so long now?
So long so long now?

Can't they stop
These waves are so rough
I can't break through
Sadness that's already bruised

I have done all I can
I let go of your hand
The deadliest sea
These waves are my friends and enemies.

So long I've tried to see
The ghost of hope in my memories
My little boy once said
'Why is your face painted red?'
I am holding his hand
One day he might understand

So long so long now
So long so long now

Can't they stop
These waves are so rough
I can't break through
Sadness that's already bruised

I have done all I can
I let go of your hand
The deadliest sea
These waves are my friends and enemies.
