when the bow breaks - men and mountains lyrics

i watched from my porch swing
as the men prepared their castles of salt
where they would dwell in the sea
“well, i once had a whole heart
a made out of gold heart
but half of it sank five miles deep”
that’s the story grandma told me
before she would show me
the pictures that would help her describe
the men were kissing their children and wives goodbye
and setting sail toward the sun for the final time

she says that she still sees him
and, god, how i would’ve loved him
oh, how she still loves him the same
then, she closes her eyes
and sends up a prayer
to be back with him again someday
her tears form a river
that now flows at our feet
giving in to her sadness
we are carried away

so, here we float in an ocean
and his ghost haunts our souls
i see the ship going down in her eyes
we’re dragged far beneath the surface
where her love ceased to be
and where we’ll drown re-living her memories

when the bow breaks
her heart breaks
her water the same
my mother is kicking harder, now
who’ll give her a name and save me?
“save us”
