lyrics

David

Looking at the keel in a restless wave
Skippering 'The Pebble' across the bay
Slowly
Stepping down the flickering gangway
Speaking to the coast by a tethered cable
Don't
Shout into the wind to say it
The wind'll carry all your words away
So
It's knocking on the hull all night and day
Outta talk, outta thought, and your breath is so cold

Taking the ship to shore
Didn't really want to though
Send your heart into the whirlpool

They'd've talked you around it anyway
No better friends than you'll make than them
So
Don't put your heart into a cage
Sunk like a chest on the ocean floor

From the shore I hope the anchor stays
But it's pulling up through my ribcage
Slowly
My grip gets weaker every day
I've a strong resolve but I need to let it go

Watch the ship leave the shore
Drift over the horizon
Put your arms against the door

Taking the ship to shore
Didn't really want to
Send your heart into the world

All the way
To the edge
To the curve

Blacker between
Pounding chest
Pounding surf

What do you wanna say when you look out at the sea, my man?
You only say: "maybe when all the stars line up again"
