MILES AWAY LYRICS

"Ex Voto"

He left the house in the early morning
Placed a note on the table just to say goodbye
Puts a photo in his pocket as he grabs his coat
Locks the door, glances back and he’s on his way

The calm before the storm

What the weather holds nobody knows,
They lost a friend just the other day
Down by the harbour where the men are brave,
On the rocks where ships are slayed

And the families hope and pray,
Ex voto to the sky above
Always loyal to the vows they made,
Please keep them safe

Devotion, some peace of mind
Accept this offering in gratitude

He’s not afraid of the seven seas,
He must provide for the ones in need
A loving family
With hungry mouths to feed
Always loyal to the vows once made,
In hope of a safe return

Devotion, their peace of mind
Accept this offering in gratitude
Ex voto, watch over them
Ex voto

Please bring them home (Ex voto)
Please keep them safe (Ex voto)
Repay their faith as they stare into the sky

Thanks to Augsburg1907 for these lyrics
