If this is all there is
And heaven sleeps on earth
Then I can’t stand the weight
Of every hopeless birth

A word destroys a world
I carry scales around
The balance is disturbed
By every foreign sound

Chorus:
So if I do you wrong
Remember my weakness
Remorse will come along
Covered in sweetness

My boat sails up and down
With every changing tide
I look for shores to land
A place to rest and hide

To tend my unseen wounds
To gather strength and learn
For to the unknown seas
I once again will turn

Chorus:
So if I do you wrong
Remember my weakness
Remorse will come along
Covered in sweetness
