Over The Rhine Fairpoint Diary lyrics

Ohh
I can't see my hands in front of my face on a night like this
I just look back on my life and think of all I've missed
I grew up south of here in towns they tore apart for coal
As if to excavate the darkest secrets of my soul

So it seems life is just a troubled sea
That we sail for free don't let me drown
If the rest of the world's goin' down
You've got to breathe your breath in me

Everybody's story is more interesting than mine
It took me twenty some odd years to see I'd been born blind
So I just feel my way to you I try to keep you close
I'm never very good at getting what I need the most

So it seems life is just a troubled sea
That we sail for free don't let me drown
(We sail for free)
If the rest of the world's goin' down
You've got to breathe your breath in me

The darkest part of any night is just before the dawn
The sun begins to rise when we admit that we were wrong

So here I stumble home to you to find the words to use
It seems the voices in my head I seldom get to choose

So it seems life is just a troubled sea
That we sail for free
(We sail for free)
Don't let me drown

(We sail for free, yea)
Umm umm
So it seems life is just a troubled sea
That we sail for free
(We sail for free)
Don't let me drown

(We sail for free, yea)
Umm umm
So it seems life is just a troubled sea
That we sail for free
(We sail for free)
Don't let me drown
