Ah
Ha
A ha
I have a boat which
I've never sailed
Onto its mast
my colours nailed
It's loaded with
years and years of hope
It refracts and cuts
my capstan rope
My family sextant
is the filling moon
The old tree sings
in perfect tune
With greater age
we see the birth
The offspring of
a strange new surf
A free dive from
this miserable sky
with lungs of soot
in the grime filled deep
Shocked and pulled
from a nice dull sleep
I know you're down there
In swaying kelp
I'll find you
I feel like a child
about to board
a ghost train
With piercing
sirens blaring
through rings of
black roses I'll move
slow scared alive
The deluge is upon us
The laughing rudder chants
A springboard dance
with no last chance
As I gasp for air
it's there
The sanded
heart fills red
just as your
gull voice said
Swooping and turning
the bridges are burning
Is it so
much to take
that we'll break
Am I a man upon
the land or
a selkie on the sea
Just as I
suspected
you're not what
I expected
Open the shell
Pull me close
and with a salty spit
I'm launched
I will not resist you
but I'll move
slow and scared alive
I hope that you are there
I hope to find you there
I will not resist you
but I'll move
slow and scared alive
Anchor away
Anchor away away
Aa anchor away
I I will not resist you
but I'll move
slow and scared alive
I hope that you are there
I I will not resist you
but I'll move
slow and scared alive
Anchor away
Aweigh anchor away
