lyrics

Leave my bones to the Atlantic
And the grave will understand
That I’ve taken up the space
That I was given as a man
Send my ash to New York harbor
Where I know I’ll finally rest
While the years of tides return me
You will only miss me less

Oh these restless nights
You hold the book and I’ll turn the page
You brought the candle to my flame
And helped me burn it all away
And I can’t be asked
To sell my soul for better days
I’ll shed my flesh so we won’t sink
And carry you along the way
I’ll carry you along the way

Leave my bones to the Atlantic
And the grave will understand
That I’ll fill them in with memories
Of what it was to be a man
Let the wind take back my breath
Cause I won’t need it anymore
Cause Christ I wouldn’t know the difference
If you left me on the floor

Oh these restless nights
You hold the book and I’ll turn the page
You brought the candle to my flame
And helped me burn it all away
And I can’t be asked
To sell my soul for better days
I’ll shed my flesh so we won’t sink
And carry you along the way
I’ll carry you along the way

And you left me with my eyes closed
Dreaming by the water's edge
Know I’ll be with you as the tide goes
While every wave holds you instead
And you can talk about the glory
And the hardship all the same
So leave my bones to the Atlantic
And I will carry you along the way
