To the Sea - Katzenjammer

The wind is a-whippin' through the open doors

Speakin' of the sea and the rolling waves

Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now

Or struggling on the surface with a cry for help

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Twenty years ago 'twas a howlin' storm

As the voice of a God from a great beyond

I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark

With a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Because all I have left is the voice of the wind

Blowing through the doors of our house

The sun was dryin' up the rainy skies

Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by

Remember what they're singin' on their way to the sea

"Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye for me"

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived

As the grave that I dug by our place on the beach

How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea

So I can go and get you back ashore with me

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Because all I have left is the voice of the wind

Blowing through the doors

Because all I have left is the voice of the wind

Blowing through the doors

One more time

All I have left is the voice of the wind

Blowing through the doors of our house
