Dave Sills: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Won’t you turn on your light, honey now
Please don’t turn me away
These aren’t empty words, I mean all that I say
Have I been gone too long, do I seem a stranger now?
Well give me a chance to remove your doubts
And I’ll show you somehow

I’m gonna burn my ships into the sea
They’ll sink to the ocean floor
Throw myself at your feet
When I wash up on your shore
I’ll do whatever I must do
Gotta find my way back into your arms

I know I’ve been wrong, honey now
You friends keep reminding you
About all my faults and how I’ve been such a fool
But that’s all in the past, can’t we just leave it there?
Start again from scratch and this time I swear
I ain’t going nowhere

I’m gonna burn my ships into the sea
They’ll sink to the ocean floor
Throw myself at your feet
When I wash up on your shore
I’ll do whatever I must do
Gotta find my way back into your arms

So lay down your arms, honey now
Don’t you see I surrender
I’m giving up playing pretend
I’ve let down my guard, just watching the white flag fly
Tramped down my fears, but if they should rise
I’ll turn back the tide

I’m gonna burn my ships into the sea
They’ll sink to the ocean floor
Throw myself at your feet
When I wash up on your shore
I’ll do whatever I must do
Gotta find my way back into your heart
