lyrics

Valleys and heaving great towers of ocean
We roll side to side but I'm taking the notion
As the lights on the hill try to warn from above
We're adrift on the turbulence of love

Metal rails, foam sprays, howling gales
If you reach in to touch them they’ll drag you away
Always tempting you to get close enough
To be adrift on the turbulence of love

But who would want for this sheltered life?
Unfit for the calm, I’ll just follow the strife
All I have is rationality
While your lips are so much wilder than the sea

Hiding inside and waiting
While the chains are hauling and the walls are shaking
We pull at the curtain with a gentle tug
‘til we're adrift on the turbulence of love

You set the bells trembling
While the seas were heavy and the storms were threatening
The lights on the hill tried to warn from above
But we're adrift on the turbulence of love
Adrift on the turbulence of love
Adrift on the turbulence of love
