Simon Le Bon - Grey Lady Of The Sea Lyrics

"grey lady of the sea"
We've whispered out loud
but your breeze doesn't bend
we're lying in the palm of your hand
no land we see, no place to be
the salt of your tears has stained to our hearts
there's no long years can tear us apart
our futures entwined with your heart
because when we lie awake we'll be thinking of you
blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
bravado is overdone [or "over & gone"?]
and patience is down
you scared us and you've turned us around
but you won't let us drown
because when we lie asleep we'll be dreaming of you
blow, grey lady blow your ships back home
(blow your ships back)
blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)
grey lady blow your ships back home
so answer us when we call
and say if you think we're wrong
when life is so short we can't stay long
but you'll never be alone
because one day we'll return - we'll be waiting for you
blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)
grey lady blow your ships back home
(blow your ships back)
blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)
grey lady blow your ships back home
(blow your ships back)
blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)
grey lady blow your ships back home
(blow your ships back)
blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)
grey lady blow your ships back home
