A Trick of the Sea |
Heading south so I can go north |
Guided by birds but drifting off-course |
Read the tide-table before starting out |
But 30 years old with chapters torn out |
You, waking up from a dream of the sea |
Safe in the harbour from sailors like me |
You, in the kitchen, waiting on tea |
Whilst I lose the compass to a trick of the sea |
Bearing east so I can blow west |
Guided by wreckage of the marie celeste |
Read sombrero fallout whilst waiting for calm |
Carved chapter 13 in script on my arm |
You, waking up from a dream of the sea |
Safe in the harbour from sailors like me |
You, in the kitchen, waiting on tea |
Whilst I lose the compass to a trick of the sea |
