Music and lyrics composed by Timothy Poitras

lyrics

And how many times must you reply to these long-distance missives? Seal them with your lipstick kisses.
And how far must I go before I am sure that this is my last tour?
I've said that before.

Though the ocean leaves a lifetime between us I'm sailing home
And the ocean's laid a fault line between us still I'm sailing home

Five months and a day and I still replay the scent of your hair in the rain; It'll never fade.
And how long will you hold to what we sowed oh so long ago?
Forever I hope.

Though the ocean leaves a lifetime between us I'm sailing home
And the ocean's laid a fault line between us still I'm sailing home
Though the ocean leaves a lifetime between us I'm sailing home
And the ocean's laid a fault line between us still I'm sailing home to you.
