|
See me waving my handkerchief on the shore |
|
see my arm raised high |
|
see that ship sail off |
|
with its sails aloft |
|
and see me dry my eyes |
|
and see more |
|
salty tears flow |
|
as my house is blown wide |
|
and see me watch the waves roll in from somewhere |
|
see me squint my eyes |
|
see me learn to live without my loved ones |
|
see me scan the skys |
|
and see |
|
the flock of birds goodbye |
|
and turn to go inside |
|
but I feel you |
|
on my neck |
|
you are a bow of fire |
|
see me reach up |
|
see me touch my neck |
|
see my fingers recoil |
|
see the life come into my body |
|
see me living wide |
|
and see me look from side to side |
|
and tiptoe in your light |
|
see me look at you and lose my sight |
|
and while my eyes burned I saw it |
|
oh no |
|
here comes a black ship |
|
rising under red sail |
|
see it fill the sky |
|
see it bellow up |
|
see the their gleaming eyes |
|
hear their scary trumpets on |
|
see me run in terror for the mountain |
|
see me scramble high |
|
and see me burned and blind |
|
and all hopeless and barren |
|
see me sprawled out |
|
see me crawl and whine |
|
see me search for signs |
|
and I see you weird and high |
|
you are a bow |
|
are a bow of fire |
|
you are a bow of fire |
|
you are a bow |
