Lyrics Eleven Miles Out - Doves

Eleven Miles Out

Miles out to sea, swimming back to shore
Just you and me
Miles out in a darker sea, coming back again
Covering me
Blood shivers down
Cover my heart and floodin' the soul
We’ve been lost and found
Everybody’s gotta try and fill that hole
My, oh, my, the water’s deep
The water’s deeper than you and me, yeah
My, oh, my, oh, my, how we speak?
When everybody’s swimming in a darker sea, sail free, yeah
Oh, how is it me
You’re sitting on a shark staring back at me
Out there the shadows fall
Everybody’s waiting for the sun to call
It’s getting hard in this dirty down
Don’t let the fuckless grind you down
My, oh, my, oh, my, where we’re free?
Everyone’s swimming in a darker sea
Sail free, sail free, sail free
He’s eleven miles out
It takes strength get him out
Sail free, sail free
Sail free, sail free
