Echo Park

You made it out 'til summertime

I made it out 'til June

But now the storm it catches up

There's nothing left to do

But hold on to the ropes my love

Close your eyes again

The light's too far away to see

Across the misty land

You felt like steering deeper out

I felt like dashing in

By now it's much too late to leave

The ropes are wearing thin

I never prayed so hard for rain

While slamming on the keel

I felt the water rushing in

The sense of something real

And I will brave this storm for you

Until the sheer strake brakes

When dark sets in and summer fades

We'll look for something new

And I will brave this storm for you

Until the sheer strake brakes

When dark sets in and summer fades

We'll look for something new

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

In bodies of wood

We'll conquer the flood

No fear of the tides

We cut loose and cast off

Did you see it happen

It was right in front of your eyes

I tried to save it all for you

And you still look surprised

I look like a battlefield

I'm swept from side to side

Cave in or dig a deeper hole

A place where I can hide

And I will build a ship for you

I will build a ship for you

I will build a ship for you

We'll sail right out of town

Going down with the strength of the tides

Wasn't your plan I know it never was

But fixing holes the size of the ship

Isn't an option when you've never lost

So when the waves started eating the deck

I kinda liked it I must admit

For what it's worth this boat was never enough

To hold the both of us as it did

And I will build a ship for you

I will build a ship for you

I will build a ship for you

We'll sail right out of town
