It’s been a long day at work
Five-thirty and time is passing slow
I’ve walked this dock a hundred times
Looking for someone I know
I don’t see your face here
Didn’t expect you to be, so…
I alienate myself here
watching the waters’ currents flow.
Go ahead and take me in
Your control I don’t mind
It’s the broken woman I’ve become
that you alone can find…
So set me off to sea
Among the stars, tides, and dawns
It’s the setting of the sun
that moves me like your pawn.
Let the sun bleach out my life
When I finally wash ashore
Let me be a hollow shell
All that is left of what was before.
