  • You're caught
    In the net
    Fathoms deep
    In regret

    Remorse code
    The message sent
    Count the cost
    Of a force spent
    In those white lines
    Made your eyes wide
    Unenlightened lies
    In those white lines

    The ship is wrecked
    With all hands
    Look to the reef
    False lights from the land
    Way off course
    The fool's sail is set
    Lashed to the wheel
    To pay the stars their debt
    With those white lines
    Made your eyes wide
    Unenlightened lies
    In those white lines


    The clipper calls
    Her siren dares
    And she gives you
    A hand lock of hair
    Laid to waste
    Drowned alone
    Burned out
    A seashell of a soul

    With those white lines
    Made your eyes wide
    Unenlightened lies
    In those white lines
    Oh, those white lines
    Oh, those white lines
    Oh, those white lines
    Made your eyes wide
    Unenlightened lies
    In those white lines

    I was likewise
    In those white lines

    Oh, those white lines Writer/s: RICHARD WILLIS HAWLEY
