June was the lobster shell I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry
The great breakers broke again, as I nodded off inside
And then, when the Empress ran aground,
And my eyes turned blue and green,
I heard a gorgeous sound,
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me,
I could finally crash again,
And that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drowned
And I brought the ocean side to its rusty knees
As I felt the even tide deep in my shallow dreams
And then, when the Empress ran aground,
And my eyes turned blue and green,
I heard a gorgeous sound,
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me,
I could finally crash again,
And that's how I became the sea
When the sky fell in (When the sky fell in)
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again,
And that's how I became the sea (How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea)
That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea...)
When the sky fell in,
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again,
And that's how I became the sea
How I became the sea.
