Sea Song
You look different every time
You come from the foam - crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise
Partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart, when you're drunk
You're terrific when you're drunk
I like you mostly late at night, you're quite alright
But I can't understand the different you in the morning
When it's time to play a being human for a while
We smile... we smile... we smile
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next fullmoon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own
We're not alone
We recommend: The Fighter
winter came by my bedroom today
falling in rows and covering the lane
morning shone on my windows today
passing the time I slumber away
to kill all the day
stumbling up at one
and put the kettle on
but wher's the coffee gone
in the afternoon
I put the TV on
but where's the drama gone
in the afternoon
and time is all that passes
someone came by my bedroom today
swaying around, then silently away
someone left home and my bedroom today
left by the time I slumbered away
to kill all the day
some people don't hurry
don't you worry they say
falling in rows and covering the lane

but where's the drama gone
in the afternoon
and time is all that passes

someone left home and my bedroom today
left by the time I slumbered away
