Song des Tages: This Sea

(Voltaire feat. Julia Marcell: "This Sea", aus dem Album "To The Bottom Of The Sea", 2008)

"'Twas the worst of times for tinkers like you and me.
So in search of fortune I took to the sea."

"Round my neck, a key, you said was to your heart.
Held it desperately as your ship left the dock."

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
For the endless hurt it gave to me.
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.
Took you away, took you away from me.

"Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you.
And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs."

"Love, your son was born. I wish you could see.
Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me."

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
For the endless hurt it gave to me.
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.
Took you away, took you away from me.

"Years have passed – how many, I don't know anymore.
Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold."

"I stand under moors searching a sea of blue.
And forever more, I'll wait here for you."



Anmerkung: Dazu passt wunderbar: "This Ship's Going Down" sowie "To The Bottom Of The Sea".
