The Seasick Dawn Lyrics by Sometymes Why

Sometimes Why

2005

[Verse 1- Andreassen]
We all had a crush on the pretty girl
With the pretty name
And who could blame me
For loving a girl called "Freedom,"
Sammy was the boy she chose
I guess he wrote the best love notes
He even spangled stars
On a gown she wasn't needing
I believed he won her heart
I believed they'd never part
We all had a cry the night she split
It had come to this no good bad kiss
He'd seen the signs but didn't read them
[Chorus- Andreassen, Andreassen, O'Donovan, & Merenda]
In the seasick dawn
When your light is still on
Hold her memory tight
But more of your nights
Are gonna be lonesome
From now on
[Verse 2- Andreassen]
I gave you all I could, she said
I fed you more than I should, she said
But you need so much, there's none to share
And it's true, Sam was the jealous type
Who'd fight a man who'd steal his wife
Or even whistle, if he liked what she was wearin'
And she'd held out along for more
He held out, she slammed the door
The bombs they burst somewhere in air
Our walls were red with TV glare
He called out but she'd gone too far to hear him
[Chorus- Andreassen, Andreassen, O'Donovan, & Merenda]
In the seasick dawn
When your light is still on
Hold her memory tight
But more of your nights
Are gonna be lonesome
From now on
[Verse 3- Andreassen]
Is this song written in secret code
Am I just telling the kids to vote
Yeah, it's a start I'll agree
Candy, flowers, candles and hours
Keep love fresh
Don't get it, think harder
You'll see the thing about a thing that's free
It's like the wings of a hummingbird
That moves too fast to sea
You better trust
If the honey's there
The bird will stay up in the air
If you take it away
She's gone in a heartbeat
[Chorus- Andreassen, Andreassen, O'Donovan, & Merenda]
In the seasick dawn
When your light is still on
Hold her memory tight
But more of your nights
Are gonna be lonesome
Well I think you know
The seasick dawn
When your light is still on
You can wait up all night
But only the night finds you lonesome
When your love's gone
