“I’ve Lost You to the Sea” is the third song on J Dna’s debut EP, Domino.
It forms a duology with the following song, Pt. ii.
This song’s unusual, uneven rhythm is formed by alternating segments in different time signatures – 7/4, 4/4, and 6/4.
I’ve lost you to the sea tonight
I put my hand over the waves
To feel the pull
Had by the moon
I’ve lost you to the sea tonight
As the foams crash like thunderclap
And leave their mark
Upon the sand
You wave goodbye
I’ve lost you to the sea tonight
The water’s cold and dark and
I can’t tell the shallows
From the deep
I’ve lost you to the sea tonight
The water’s red and running and
By the time the sun
Is out you’re gone
You wave goodbye
