She held onto my ankles as she was swept out to sea.

Her hair full of salt. Her eyes full of me.

She held onto my ankles as she was swept out to sea.

Her body becoming the waves as they crashed upon me.

My feet no longer stand on those shores.

I've barred up my windows and sealed up my doors.

I sensed your storms a coming a long time ago.

Now I hide in solitude humming the songs I only know.

Humming the songs you only taught me.

The day you held my ankles and were swept out to sea.
