God Of Ocean Tides |
| Close the door on a short night |
| Lift the lid on the daylight |
| It’s 6:09, West Tennessee time |
| And I buy all my days |
| At the same place where the girl sells her nights |
| To a god of ocean tides |
| All night long |
| Writing poems to California |
| Melodies of failure |
| And the people I have thrown away |
| Meanwhile somewhere west of Carolina |
| In a congregation of strangers |
| We are digging holes to China |
| Then we pray to our reflections |
| In the water when it rises |
| Headlights pin the highway down |
| Jesus spins the world around |
| I spend all my tomorrows coming down |
| Goodbye all my days |
| I know I said I never loved you |
| But I might just try again tonight |
| Truck stops and river gods |
| Gas stations of the cross |
| Following a ghost Following a ghost |
| I pray the water wash away the memories and the cost |
| Carry me south to the sea |
| Along with your memories of me |
| We are born in the water |
| I will return to thee |
| Coloured lights and birthday cakes |
| Candle wax on paper plates |
| Breathe the water |
| Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye |
| You can see through water |
| All the way up to the sky |
| Gods of water Gods of rain |
| Cover up the sun again |
| We are crossing at the Mississippi line |
| I tried all my days |
| To love you just the way you hoped I might |
| But I’m leaving here tonight |
| I can’t remember yesterday |
| I tried |
| If I said I could |
| I lied |
