June was the lobster shell I dug by A haven that hid me well Beneath the sand The wide windy waves washed in But I stayed dry The great breakers broke As I nodded off inside
And then When the Empress ran aground And my eyes turned blue and green I heard a gorgeous And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines off And drank them down The depths turned the iron soft As they drowned And I brought the ocean To its rusty knees As I felt the even tide Deep in my shallow dreams
And then When the Empress ran And my eyes turned blue and green I heard a gorgeous sound And that's when it became a dream When the sky fell in When hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea
When the sky fell in (When the sky fell in) (When the sky fell in) When the hurricanes came for me could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) That's how became the sea (How I became the sea) That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) (How I became sea)
(When the sky fell in) (When the hurricanes came for me) (I could finally crash again) (And that's how I became the sea)
