there is an ocean that divides - scott matthew lyrics

my love lies over the ocean
long ago it fumbled in my hands
i’m a fool to stoke and tend a dying fire
that will never make it back to land

drown me sweetly
sea of tears so far from sh-r-
i have plucked this last heart string for a song
drag me down to deepest depths and leave me there
i shall long for you no more
