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 |
