Every time he disappears beneath the waves
Her heart behaves like a wild horse
In the breakers
Running from ocean to shore
She watched him swim against the tide
Remembering the sea was as deep as it's wide
Like a shipwreck on the far rocks
Breaking up and onto the shore

I will not hurt you
Nor desert you
I will not let you go
One day you'll return and walk up that shore
Everyone needs to come home

His hands were scarred with clay and clod
And his mouth spat out what the waters brought
The sun reached down and warmed their hearts
As she welcomed him back to the world

I will not hurt you
Nor desert you
I will not let you go
One day you'll return and walk up that shore
Everyone needs to come home
I will not hurt you
Nor desert you
I will not let you go
One day you'll return and walk up that shore
Everyone needs to come home
