Lyrics

My heart, like a freighter loaded
With regret heavy as iron ore
And I, the good captain sinking
With my ship just off your shore
Your love, the tide that carried me
A drowning man, but lucky, nonetheless… oh, yes
Drifting in with all of my wreckage
You pulled me from that mess

So, I must owe you something
As sure as tomorrow will bring a new sunrise in the east
But I must owe you something
Though, from any debt you say that I have been released
Baby, let me owe you this much
My very best at the very least

Felt like the ice cream man, broke down in the heat
All my cool and sweet fading fast
You blew in like a coastal rain
A blossom on my desolate past
A song just needs someone to sing
A prayer just needs someone to bless, oh yes
Drifting in with all my wreckage
You pulled me from that mess

So, I must owe you something
As sure as tomorrow will bring a new sunrise in the east
But I must owe you something
Though, from any debt you say that I have been released
Baby, let me owe you this much
My very best at the very least

What I can offer won’t fit in a box
It’s made of light and honesty
Don’t turn away this gift given in kind, baby
Please take it, the very best of me
