lyrics

I am only conscious when I think theres something wrong,
so happy don't write songs,
and lovely wont be lovely till tomorrow
when I'm lonely and I'm cold without your arms,
but please don't be alarmed,
I'll never be disarmed by empty sorrow,
only once was I afraid,
and though many times I'll often be dismayed,
I'll always hear you calling out my name.
I am just a sailor sailing on the seven seas,
only seventeen,
lost inside my dreams before tomorrow
says good morrow to the desperate face its found,
and I'll hear its voice resound:
"Where will you go now?"
"Well cant I just go straight into my grave?"
I said before my head you quickly saved.
I'll always hear you calling out my name.
I'll always hear the desperate and the lovesick cries of pain;
I'll always hear the ocean sing me songs upon the waves;
I'll always hear the faded cries of the ones I left without goodbyes,
and in this message I've left behind I'll tell you why I'll never die in vain:
cause I'll always hear you calling out my name.
Even if I go tomorrow it's okay,
cause I'll always hear you calling out my name.
