Cast a Hook in Me

歌詞

Breathe life to the street from the mouth Those ruby red lips have much to give Pull life from the land with your capable hands Those life loving beautiful broken hands Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel At the cosmos pink and bright All the pages flipping backwards Til time is gone and wrong is right Rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me Sing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone With watery cheeks down flowered lanes Tattered sails on a ramshackle ship, I'll go pale Staring straight in the face looming tempest waves Otherwise I'll wither and die here On this reach of rubble rambling With two years filled up with sand, dear In a broken daze I'll be scrambling Like rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me Summer sky falling into the sea, taking part of me See the bones on the sand in the light All the heards of the sea rushing by, pay no mind To the dancing reflections gone wild And at night a fractured star fell And pierced right through the thick of me I cried out in pain and joy, yes I'm not dead, not numb, not withering Like a falling leaf who keeps her green I'm turning bright in the sea Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
