return me to the sea

Written by Minna

My love, I think you’ve noticed
I’ve dwelled here way too long,
I don’t know where to go yet,
so just sing me another song

My head has been feeling heavy,
and my bones can’t carry the weight,
of the thoughts that never let me go,
the thoughts I cherish but hate

Don’t worry my love, I’m not all that sick,
it’s nothing that’ll last too long,
don’t worry my love, I beg you to,
just sing me another song

Don’t worry my love, I just need a bit,
to get used to the laughter again,
don’t worry my love, I’ll do nothing bad,
I’m better and now I’m quite sane

I’d like to travel somewhere with
more than loneliness and misery,
so promise me, when I’m healthy again,
to take me to the sea

My love, don’t you cry, I’m all good now,
I’ve been taking my meds and all,
my love, you’re too kind, so I can’t say,
that these past weeks have been making me fall

My love, I’ve been lying, I apologize,
but I’ve been going down and down,
and I’ve been crying many tears,
how cliche of me to drown

My love, I‘m unwell and you broke your promise,
for I‘m still where the sun shines past,
and the sea awaits with peaceful dances,
I’d like to feel alright at last.

My love, I can’t stand, I have nothing left,
I need to sleep an undisturbed sleep,
for I need to return, go back to the sea,
be away before I see you weep

my love, kiss me sweetly, and tell me some lies,
for we‘ve all rotten deep from inside,
and the sea, it sings, it’s coming for me,
and it will carry me with its tide

my love, I’ll feel quite a bit better,
if you lay me down under the tree,
and when I’m dead, please take me,
and return me to the sea
