My word is gone into remission
I watch her hold to her course
Your love's a tragedy that I don't deserve
She holds it for me in reserve
Going through
Going through the motions
Hiding from heaven, another frozen world
I travel in secret, I know they're pursuing me
And me, I'm lost at sea
And me, I'm lost in her hands
As an act of devotion
There's no sun, just a gray horizon
Gave all my passion to the ocean
Shore far away off the starboard side
She said, "Soon have we begun
Morning that falls represents a weak link
An act of devotion
Going through the motions
As an act of devotion
Seems like every flash in her eye's
But until then you're mine"
She said, "You're only growing now"
Shore far away off the port side
And me, I'm riding high
Watch the ship hold to its course
After is after night's work is done
Then she can have you
Tired of hopes that I just can't run from
Shore far away off the bow
