This Open Sea

You were a port in the storm

Your love light kept me warm

The world I grew to know was a world of you

I turned my back on everyone I knew

 

I cut my hair and bought new clothes

I was your play thing I suppose

I even changed the way I spoke

I laughed at your friends cruel jokes (and it made me choke)

 

Only for you to cut me adrift on this open sea

There's no one here but me

Adrift on this open sea

Few stars, a black night and me...

 

The little money that I had

It was all yours

I lit candles, pulled out chairs and opened doors

I followed you like a dog day and night

When you did me wrong I treated you right

 

Only for you to cut me adrift on this open sea

There's no one here but me

Too much to drink, too much time to think, into the flood I'll sink, it's pushed me to the brink

And there's no sight of land

And I can't understand how you could

 

Cut me loose on this open sea

There's no one here but me...

Hello, this is universal transformation in love and well put - why do we ever alter ourselves for others and the dawning comes late.  Lovely traditional images. Perhaps sort that long line out - unsure if formatting or deliberate but you don't need that run on.
