about

A song for all those lost at sea.

lyrics

I stand on this clutch of twigs creaking at sea
And I can’t see the stars for the dark.
The sails' lips a flutter like muttering pals
'sleep a toe-to-toe tipsy with hearts off the ground
but I tip on the deck at the ebb of my fate.
Thought the dip of the wave’s not a bother with mates
but there’s no brave sod whoever escaped
the bewitching of blues through a brew;
want a taste of your heart? Take a few.
See the trick of your darlings all beamishly gay
loose your grip on your hopes and then throw them away
like you were.

The drizzling dawn like a wet angry dog
shivers soberly into y’ bones.
And one lonely lantern is sputtered in fog
as the sun makes an entrance - its colours agog
at the wreckings that happen as soon as it dips.
"May the day clear the night up and ever forgive".
For there’s no brave sods wherever they lived
‘scaped the witching of blues through the gloom;
want to picture your heart? Take a view.
But ye hide before shambled-and-shamed by the day
as the waking life laps ye and throws you away...
