1000 Oceans

This song is precious to me. It means something to me that don't think I can explain to anyone. I've never really dared to try. If you ask me to explain what it means in simple terms, then I would tell you that it means everything. And the video is just... complete heartbreak. And so important. Draws me in and tears me up every time I see it.

these tears I've cried
I've cried a thousand oceans
and if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness, well

I can't believe that I would keep
keep you from flying
and I would cry a thousand more
if that's what it takes
to sail you home
sail you home
sail you home

I'm aware what the rules are
but you know that I will run
you know that I will follow you
over Silbury Hill
through the solar field
you know that I will follow you

and if I find you
will you still remember?
playing at the trains
or does this little blue ball just fade away?

over Silbury Hill
through the solar field
you know that I will follow you
I'm aware what the rules are
but you know that I will run
you know that I will follow you

these tears I've cried
I've cried a thousand oceans
and if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness, well

I can't believe that I would keep
keep you from flying
so I will cry a thousand more
if that's what it takes
to sail you home
sail you home
sail you home
