Sea Defences

the sun has bleached your hair my girl
I'm thinking as we're looking out to sea
how was the world before you
who did I used to be

I fell from untouchable
with a tremor in my heart
my love & fear came tumbling out
my defences broke apart

the sun has burned my head again
as I sit & puzzle how
before you I wanted for nothing
& nothing's what I'd have without you now

I came down from invincible
silver bullet in my heart
my love & fear came tumbling out
sea defences broke apart
