about

From the 2008 album Floating Bridge. Re-issue will be released on September 18, 2020!

One of Erik's most mature early lyrics, this mixture of acoustic folk and hard rock is propelled by the ferocious lead guitar playing of Drew Pederson.

lyrics

The ocean's wide
The sea is deep
But I will drink them dry

I'm a poor, poor stranger
In a dead end town
Where no one's on your side

How can I be sure I'm here
When everything is dust
It's a long, long way to higher ground
When you don't know who to truts

So help me tonight
I'm falling fast
Help me help myself
I'm here I'm waiting
I can almost see the light
So please help me tonight

I'll take the walk
But I won't run
The world will run for me
Dawn is coming
But always fades
It's all I want to be
