Santa Maria

Let me off this boat
I'm sick of this ride
The world is heading
Ever southward
And I can't stay in here
And you're lying awake
Away on your side
The feeling comes in waves
And burns us
And I don't want to die
From the slippery hands
To the line of your throat
The fever now consumes us both
In fire now we will go
Santa Maria
Why did you have to go?
Santa Maria
One day we will know
In a bowing of heads
And a passing of hands
All we thought they'd understand
Is lost and they won't know
And what have we left?
It's all that we've got
There is no 'X' to mark our spot
What's past is done and gone
Santa Maria
Why did you have to burn?
Santa Maria
One day you will learn
