Jane Siberry - The Vigil

sail ho heave ho come on let go
your time on earth is over
I watch you sleeping on the bed
I'm talking to your soul

did you ever think it'd be like this?
did you ever think you'd laugh so much?
did you ever think you'd have to try so hard?

oh...

I'm watching my sweet mama
from my vigil on this chair I close my eyes I feel a change...
is this my lover here?

did you ever think it'd be like this?
did you ever think you'd walk away?
you and me running through
the back streets of the world
like a pack of hounds of two
wanting more and more love
and how much is too much?
did you ever think we'd love so hard?
fighting hard and hurting worse
oh...you're sailing away...
