Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Floatsam and Jetsam
Always at the mercy of the ocean
Drawn on the trade winds
Gathered up and swallowed
By the motion
High hopes and young dreams
Unrequited love
Misplaced devotion
Time will sweep these things away
And I'll be carried by the wave
[Verse 2]
Carried by the wave
Carried by the wave
My soul surrendered
To the undertow
Driven by the tide
I'm heading for the shore
These lonely scattered
Pieces heading home
Heading home
[Verse 3]
Caught on the high wire
Quarry for the demons
Down below
Held in slow motion
Frozen by the thought
Of letting go
Time will sweep these things away
And I'll be carried by the wave
[Verse 4]
Carried by the wave
Carried by the wave
My soul surrendered
To the undertow
Driven by the tide
I'm heading for the shore
These lonely scattered
Pieces heading home
Like it was before
Joined forever more
These lonely scattered
Pieces heading home
Heading home
Heading home
