Johan Glidden - Shores of Nineveh

I've been gunning for glory
Trying to find my destiny
Been telling a story
Where I leave out the worst and keep the best of me
I've been falling in love
And living in the future
But it's never enough
To hold my heart
Been filling the cup
And chasing it with water
Following lust and falling apart
Here I am on the shores of Nineveh
The ocean spit me up
Oh it spit me up again
On the shores of Nineveh
Now I've had enough
And I'm ready to begin
Well I heard you calling
But I was afraid of a falling sky
And I went running into the deep end
Where a shallow heart could hide
I've been falling in love
And falling in the ocean
But it was enough
To make me new
No I'm coming up
And coughing up water
It took a tempest to turn me to you
Here I am on the shores of Nineveh
The ocean spit me up
Oh it spit me up again
On the shores of Nineveh
Now I've had enough
And I'm ready to begin
On the shores of Nineveh
The ocean spit me up
Oh it spit me up again
On the shores of Nineveh
Now I'm ready to begin
So lead me on to where
I said I'd never go
I'll leave my past
And leave the rest for You to know
On the shores of Nineveh
In my distress I called You
You answered in the dark
"My child, I will hold you
Ever closer to my heart"
In my distress I called You
You answered in the dark
"My child, I will hold you
Ever closer to my heart"
In my distress I called You
You answered in the dark
"My child, I will hold you
Ever closer to my heart"
In my distress I called You
You answered in the dark
"My child, I will hold you
Ever closer to my heart"
In my distress I called You
You answered in the dark
"My child, I will hold you
Ever closer to my heart"
