lyrics

What a shame, I wanna change and can't.
That lamp is lit, that flower picked.
I had a thought to cast my lot in with you,
the worst that you could do is still good for me.

All my life I've been looking for the place,
where you caught a cold,
standing on the jetty with a cigarette,
watching timid water wet its bed.

Sparkling water, a river, run over.
Army of tides, would you hide your number.
You did cradle my legs when I wade out to touch your face.
You said you'd carry me now as you carried my brother
singing, nah nah nah.

I spent time earning medals
in the war between her and him
with their hearts and skin intermingled
in a tangle we no one ever did untie
but you are soft and sweet,
inside your chest I hear I song,
but you don't sing or know the key,
though written where our fingers meet.

Oh good boat be good to me,
Bare me as a gift to thee,
Silver ship, fly fast, fly free,
Bare me as a gift.
