lyrics

you're the ocean
i am the sky
the horizon is a beautiful lie

the sea touches the sky
as far as we can see though
they lie on the horizon they're
as far apart as they could be

sharpen the awl
now cut along the fault line
tell me where to fall apart

vanishing point
in the distance where we join
the horizon is a lovely lie

the sea reflects the blue sky
the ocean seeds the rain
the rain then feeds the ocean
in turn it turns the sky to grey

skies are in your eyes
oceans deep in mine
i'm what makes you blue
and you are what makes me cry

in haze and in the distance
there is blurring of the line
what is yours and what is mine
still i am yours and you are mine...
