Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
And if you are meant to be mine love
One day you'll come home to me
[Chorus]
But are you a trick of the mem'ry
That the old gods are playin' on me?
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Verse 2]
Your blue eyes are there when I close mine
I see your sweet face when I dream
My heart is all ragged in pieces
Bleeding at every seam
[Chorus]
And are you a trick of the mem'ry
That the old gods are playin' on me?
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Instrumental]
I'm down on my knees at a crossing
Wondering which way to go
But all roads are dark through the valley
And I'll learn to walk them alone
[Chorus]
But are you a trick of the mem'ry
That the old gods are playin' on me?
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Instrumental]
No wine and no song can soothe me
I'm pierced by the arrows of pain
I'll lay on the grass by the mountain
And summon the wind and the rain
[Chorus]
But are you a trick of the mem'ry
That the old gods are playin' on me?
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
Carry my prayers on the ocean
Carry my prayers on the sea
