Washed Ashore

I've been driftin'
For God only knows how long
Half dead and semi-conscious
Floating on and on
My ship was on its way to clearer skies
When it was tossed and shattered into
Pieces among the brine

It was too late for me
Too late for me until you came
I could barely shoulder the weight
Of my shipwrecked fate until you came
And got me on my feet once again
Now I'm on the mend because you
Tended to my wounds, and staved off the end

Take all the loss
And clear all the moss from my eyes
Go bury them at sea with the rest
Of all the shards and pieces of the past
'Cos with this gift you've given to me
I have what I need to start to
Rebuild, reconstruct, and head back to sea

I've been fixin'
Holes around the deck
Not quite perfect
Not oceanready just yet
But soon I'll be on my way to clearer skies

About the song

Again with the ocean metaphors! Enh, whatever works, right? This was about the time I started unintentionally working with some odd time signatures. I'd tried previously to experiment, but it always sounded forced and awkward. Ooo, this was the first song I ever used a capo on too!
