Shallows

Your tears stain the pillow-case
And there I watch you stay
Soaking in your sheets
You disintegrate

If I could take your burdens
I'd turn them into dust
But your floods they weep
Your hours they bleed
Weeks go by
Your oceans eyes
Not unlike mine

And I sink trying to swim to you
And I sink trying to swim

If I could take your burdens
I'd turn them into dust
But your floods they weep
If I could sweep the agony from your eyes
Make you see yourself through mine
Weeks go by

And I sink trying to swim to you
And I sink trying to swim

If I could free you from all your guilt
Wean you down from those pills
Maybe then you wouldn't wear so thin
And I could spin your sorrow into silk

Oh you know, you know she doesn't love you
But oh, she knows that she should

And I sink trying to swim to you
And I sink trying to swim

I'm sorry if I sink you too
