Lyrics Atlantis - The White Birch

Atlantis

Whenever she’s alone
Alone that child she dares
To flair her icy bones
Half naked into the air
Just to find the spot
The one that makes you weak
To draw more than the queen’s lot
By the end of every week
And you can tell me
About the useless sea
On behalf of the widow
Of a sailor soon to be free
You can tell me
About the useless sea
And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair
And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
Whenever she’s alone
That woman dares to keep
Leaking boats built too low
To move us in our sleep
And if you find the place
The one that made you grow
Crowns of flowers in the girl’s face
Chasing blood into the river’s flow
And you can tell me
About the useless sea
On behalf of the widow
Of the sailor soon to be free
You can tell me
About the useless sea
And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair
And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
