seanan mcguire - in this sea lyrics

let me kiss your cheek and chin, and tell you i forgive you;
i always knew, my liz, my love, how much you lied to me
let me kiss your neck and hand; your memory will outlive you
your sorrow and your joy will live forever in this sea

i’ve always loved the lily-maids, the lighthouse keepers’ daughters
i’ve always loved the lighthouse keepers’ daughters
the children of the river and the keepers of the waves
the children of the rivers and the waves
i take them to my bed and let them take me to the waters
i take them to my bed and to the waters
to the mysteries and silences no hero ever saves
mysteries and silences no hero ever saves

i’ve always loved what’s best unloved, the ones bound fast to leave me
i’ve always loved the ones bound fast to leave me
the empty-handed maidens who have placed their swords in stones
maidens who have placed their swords in stones
i take them to my bed, although i know that they’ll deceive me;
i take them to my bed and they’ll deceive me
it’s better to be lost at sea than found, but all alone

let me kiss your lips and hair, and say my eyes were open;
i always knew, my liz, my love, what you would do to me
let me kiss your face and eyes; no promises were broken
your darkness and your light will shine forever in this sea

i’ve always loved the ones we’ll lose, the sibyls of the sh0r-line
i’ve always loved the sibyls of the sh0r-line
who comb their hair with driftwood, and whose skies are never clear
who comb their hair, whose skies are never clear
they take me to the rocks, and i pretend that they can be mine;
they take me to the rocks, but they can’t be mine
they leave me as they will, and still, the next will find me here

don’t think that i’m an innocent, although i’ve played the fool;
don’t think that i’m an innocent or a fool
don’t think i’ve ever been betrayed, for that was never true
don’t think i’ve ever been betrayed by you
i knew the game each time i played. i’ve never changed a rule
i knew the game, and never changed a rule
so don’t you cry, my liz, my love. i went to sea for you

let me kiss you one last time; the morning light is breaking
i always knew, my liz, my love, just what the end would be
let me send you on your way, for there is no mistaking
the cost that every man must pay who comes to love the sea
