The Oceansong - Take One Car

oh oh oh oh you’re sleeping in the water

You’re sleeping in the water

oh oh oh oh you’re sleeping in the water

You’re sleeping in the water.

I wake upon the sea

Outstretched sails in front of me

Find half a world between

These thoughts and what I dream

But I can remember

Still I wake upon the sea

Your outstretched arms in front of me

Find half a world

And I can’t remember

I saw a passing bird

And he spoke his salty words

Oh ever so clear

Still I wake upon the sea

Outstretched sails in front of me

Find half a world

And I can’t remember

Please God save us all

And we will never sin again

Please God save us all

And I swear

Please God save us all

And we will

From the deck that captain sings

«What heroes we will be when we return.»

While from the back I snear away,

«More like snails into the night, leaving trails of where we’ve been.»

And in my dreams a gull came crashing down

And whispered in my ear, about our sinking ship

And these words I like not to hear

«I'll wait until the fish have had, there fill on flesh and bone and blood.

I’ll pick apart your brain, eat it piece by piece.

And if you think it fun my friend, oh the price you’ll have to pay.

For seeking better pastures has led the sheep, oh led the sheep astray.»

We will all drown

While All The People Sleep

Six feet beneath the earth

Sand will round my jagged bones

Five miles below the surf
