Lyrics The Oceansong - Take One Car

The Oceansong

oh oh oh oh you’re sleeping in the water
You’re sleeping in the water
oh oh oh oh you’re sleeping in the water
You’re sleeping in the water.
I wake upon the sea
Outstretched sails in front of me
Find half a world between
These thoughts and what I dream
But I can remember
Still I wake upon the sea
Your outstretched arms in front of me
Find half a world
And I can’t remember
I saw a passing bird
And he spoke his salty words
Oh ever so clear
Still I wake upon the sea
Outstretched sails in front of me
Find half a world
And I can’t remember
Please God save us all
And we will never sin again
Please God save us all
And I swear
Please God save us all
And we will
From the deck that captain sings
«What heroes we will be when we return.»
While from the back I snear away,
«More like snails into the night, leaving trails of where we’ve been.»
And in my dreams a gull came crashing down
And whispered in my ear, about our sinking ship
And these words I like not to hear
«I'll wait until the fish have had, there fill on flesh and bone and blood.
I’ll pick apart your brain, eat it piece by piece.
And if you think it fun my friend, oh the price you’ll have to pay.
For seeking better pastures has led the sheep, oh led the sheep astray.»
We will all drown
While All The People Sleep
Six feet beneath the earth
Sand will round my jagged bones
Five miles below the surf
