5000 miles spent at sea
Braving the world wild and free
Guardian swallow watch over me
5000 miles, 5000 goodbyes
5000 miles, 5000 miles, 5000 miles
5000 goodbyes

The river broke reality
The parts of my anatomy
Enjoy the swim, survive the frost
Not all who wander will get lost

Summer days are stalling, stalling
Frozen fingers calling, calling

5000 miles spent at sea
Braving the world wild and free
Guardian swallow watch over me
5000 miles, 5000 goodbyes

Throw messages in to the sea
We look for love, for loyalty
A waste of ink, my bag stays packed
All the bottles come right back

Oh summer days are stalling, stalling
Frozen fingers calling, calling

5000 miles spent at sea
Braving the world wild and free
Guardian swallow watch over me
5000 miles, 5000 goodbyes
