Saudade

The sea spoke to me She said what you're looking for Cannot be found in here The waves tend to sound like silence And silence as blissful as the sound of the ocean I met a beauty so strange One that didn't try to be anything else It shut my soul up So vast I forgot I was the one beholding it How did emptiness bring about all this comfort? It's when you're at the end of your rope Or at the mountain top You face a wall that says to go back Why is it that The most beautiful things are the ones That make you sad? I spent my whole life looking for a place to call my own Somewhere I could go and rest my own soul and say here I belong Maybe all along I couldn't find you, you're too out of reach But if I stay on this road and I'll find my way home You'll come back to me It's when you're at the end of your rope Or at the mountain top You face a wall that says to go back Why is it that The most beautiful things are the ones That make you sad? If I look up at the night skies can they lead me to you? (Lead me to you) If I lay my head on the waves can they carry me too? (Carry me to you) If I go through the woods would my hands bruise? (Now would they bruise) If I make it out of this town, could I find my way out? (Find my way out) When did loneliness bring about all this comfort? And how did pain take away all my discomfort?
