Billowing Sea - Emily Barker, The Red Clay Halo

You’ll just move on with nothing much darker

Than the beat of guilt in your heart

Nothing more heavy than sorry in your soul

Nothing sadder than goodbye in your mouth

Don’t know why I held onto something

That’s been broken for so long

Could have been for the reason of all we once were

Or for faith in what was to come

Could have been for the reason I knew that your decision

Was based on a moment of your heart’s contradiction

Don’t know why I held onto something

That’s been broken for so long

For every sun I poured over you

For every silence and song

For every cloud I blew away

Everything that I have done

There will be a billowing sea

Of light and liberty

I gave my all and even more

For the sake of the giver in me

Now all my bridges have fallen in the water

And all my hope has reluctantly gone under

There will be a billowing sea

Of light and liberty

You’ll just move on with nothing much darker

Than the beat of guilt in your heart

Nothing more heavy than sorry in your soul

Nothing sadder than goodbye in your mouth
