Lyrics Great Waves - Dirty Three

Great Waves

Last boat, stand in the river
Muddy river, high, eye-level
Hawk flying, is fooling his folly
Gas hurricanes spread over Heaven
Weeping willow
Is bawling goodbye
On fire
Humans running for cover
Wishing for life, gripping the light
House lift up, trees lift out
Cars intersect in the middle of the sky
All time fell
No pull, no gravity on the ground
Given up, it’s over
The world’s weight is over limit
Our bodies are exploding
As the sky spills through our mouths
All the blue blood is flowing
The cities, its contents have been ripped out
The world is gone
Did you know you could last this long?
You made it to the dark, now you’re gone
You are gone
Great waves
Frozen in a secret space
Great big place
Dark, spilling universe
Last boat, stand in the river
