| There’s a house in the middle of the ocean
|
| You can see it when the waves dive
|
| Then they rise like furious mountains
|
| Swallowing the girl inside it
|
| You and I are connected by a wire
|
| I feel what you feel
|
| The hum is affection, pulse is desire
|
| Anger is rasping, dissonance is fear
|
| You and I are bound by a secret
|
| And the weight of a lie
|
| We gave up our families to keep it
|
| And I carried our stonechild
|
| Bring the wine to the passenger
|
| Bring the passenger bread
|
| In the morning, draw her a bath
|
| In the evening, draw down the bed
|
| Write my verse through her brittle fingers
|
| Find my voice echoing her dreams
|
| At the river, watering the horses
|
| Plunge my stonechild down into the stream
|
| What false darkened force possesses me?
|
| Would true love dare try to possess me?
|
| What false darkened force possesses me?
|
| Would true love dare try to possess me?
|
| There’s a house in the middle of the ocean
|
| You can see it from this mountain’s top
|
| Emerging from the resting water
|
| From the door to the sand, a mile of wooden dock
|
| You and I are connected by a wire
|
| I feel what you feel
|
| But I’ve called calm waters, I’ve got the cutters
|
| Your verse is humming what I never hear
|
| You and I are the shape that «the spray makes»
|
| From a surfacing whale
|
| The tall redwood tearing down the cliff
|
| The lovers kiss, and in uni-verse, exhale
|
| Walk the mile with me
|
| Passenger to our passage’s end
|
| How my love became heart coil of bone
|
| A heart coil of bone to the ocean floor, I’ll send
|
| Now in this house, way out in dark water
|
| Now in this house, find the girl inside
|
| Opening my legs to the deepest of oceans
|
| Now here, I bury my stonechild
|
| Now here, I bury my stonechild
|
| Now here, I bury my stonechild
|
| Now here, I bury my stonechild
|
| What false darkened force possesses me?
|
| Would true love dare try to possess me?
|
| What false darkened force possesses me?
|
| Would true love dare try to possess me?
|
| What false darkened force possesses me?
|
| Would true love dare try to possess me? |
