Trusty Sea Creatures - The Center of Earth

Take me down to the water
Where an old man waits
For the ghost of his daughter
He can't escape
Holding back his tears with a fishing line
'Cause she won't come tonight
Not a single word could make it right
As he slips into the night

Cross the bridge to the old side of town
Where people walk
Off their feet as they float above the ground
You hear them talk
Oh, you've grown so tall, how can it be?
Has it really been a year?
So, you cut your hair, please let me see
And I still love you

Hold these hands
Take it slow
Let me float into the dark
Lay me down
In the ground
Someone is wait for me

I still wait by the phone for your call
It never came
Holding still like a stone inside these walls
And I'm the one to blame
Falling through the sky on a tidal wave
In an ocean of your tears
One more time can I hear you say my name
And I will have no fear

Make this climb
Find that light
Where I can grow out from the center of earth
Wait these days
To see your face
Like falling stars that's what it's worth
Let it drown
Burn it down
Anything so I can make it to you
Dry your eyes
One last time
Take my hand
We'll make it through
