Salvage a Smile |
| Dead eye from the wood of life |
| Hold the ropes and the rigging lines |
| Red-eye a.m. Here i lie |
| Shipwreck passing underneath |
| What of the sailor and her spinning wheel? |
| What was she thinking being |
| Swallowed by the water whole? |
| Red on the left, green on the right |
| You can see me coming in the morning light |
| Brass and glass and rusted iron |
| Sextant here for the heavenly bodies |
| Compass here but the needle’s shot |
| Magnetic deviation screws me up |
| Break the glass from your hanging lanterns |
| Break the sea with your blackened anchors |
| And you might end up a floating junk pile |
| But you can always scramble to salvage a smile |
