Inkwell Spotlight: ‘Stormy Sea’

I feel I’ve known you for a million years

We’ve had our laughs and our own share of tears

But now I feel the time has come

To leave all we made behind

I think it’s about time to slip away

I see the future coming today

I wish I could know where I should be

But I’m a blind man in a stormy sea

I can’t go back to where it all began

I used to be a boy but now I’m a man

And though I know it’s hard to say

I think you’ll understand this all someday

And though there’s no path through the clouds ahead

I can’t look back at where I’ve tread

I’m sure I’ll miss you when you’re gone

But I have no choice except to carry on

I don’t mean to cause you sadness and sorrow

But this is the only way to find a tomorrow

I hope this choice will set us free

But I’m a blind man in a stormy sea

We can’t go back to where it all began

I used to be a boy but now I’m a man

And though I know it’s hard to say

I think you’ll understand this all someday
