"No Graves But The Sea" lyrics

I loved to walk barefoot on the shores
Just to feel the coarse sand between my toes
To hear the waves crushing and roar
And to hear the ocean calling my name
Calling me home

Raise your glass to the ones we loved
For whom we cried at night
For those who left this place too early
In my dreams, I hold you tight
Raise your glass to the ones we loved
For whom we cried at night
I'll see you on the other side
Where shadows reach for light

For what we've lost like-a you and me
It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea
To the pain of pure hearts
Bleak skies and the sea
To the mountains and tides
As they fall, so do we

No man steps in the same river twice
For it's a different river, a different man
But through him flows the river of time
And the time shared becomes a memory or a scar

I love to feel the bare stones between my hands
To gasp and fill my lungs with cold air
To sense the wind, not breaking young hearts, but branches
To hear the mountains now and then calling my name
Finally calling me home

And now as I stand here in the clouds
It starts hurting a little less
Since I know I'm not alone anymore
Since I know I'm gonna sleep through this storm

Drink with me to the days gone by
Drink with me to the days gone by
Drink with me to the days gone by
And the life that used to be
Drink with me to the days gone by
To the life we used to live

Father ocean, oh, Mother sea
Come, Lady Death, and wear your crown
'Cause the sea's words were always more honest
Speaking to those willing to drown

For what we've lost like-a you and me
It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea
To the pain of pure hearts
Bleak skies and the sea
To the mountains and tides
As they fall, so do we
