Lyrics Against the Waves - Plain as Ghosts

Take your burdens down to your mothers' house
Like the early days, these old memories
You've given to me
A piece of everything, at peace with nothing at all
You've given to me
And she said

Boy, I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
Boy I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
The talk of the town, have I lost my way?
I won't let you down, boy I've been hurt
My love won't stray

Paint a longer path, walk on broken glass
Dancing in the rain with no hint of shame
So, take what you need
And see through everything, we gamble to watch the sky fall
Forgiven, you're free
And she said

Boy, I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
Boy I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
The talk of the town, have I lost my way?
I won't let you down, boy I've been hurt
My love won't stray

And my unhappiness is a weight I bear with the things I couldn't do
And my own happiness is a burden lifted when you first dropped off
Your disguise

Boy, I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
Boy I've been hurt and boy I've been lost against the waves
The talk of the town, have I lost my way?
I won't let you down, boy I've been hurt
My love won't stray
