Yesterday winter spoke
And told me you had gone
I guess I should've known
You wouldn't stay too long

[Chorus]
I've never been closer to the sea
I've never been closer to the sea

Went to the widow's walk
To see if you'd returned
Walked 'till I couldn't speak
And all my words had burned

[Chorus]

Do I speak too soon
Under the lover's moon?

So I keep lookin' out
The waves keep me alive
I serenade every night
Just waitin' for a sign

I hope that they send you
Back to me
I hope that they send you
Back to me

Do I speak too soon
Under the lover's moon?
