Sea Legs

Of all the churning random hearts under the sun

Eventually fading into night

These two are opening now

As we lie I touch you under fuller light

Girl, if you're a seascape, I'm a listing boat

For the thing carries every hope, I invest in a single lie

The choice is yours to be loved

Come away from an emptier boat

'Cause when the dead moon rises again

Be no time to stall a protocol to hem us in

And when the dog slides underneath the train

There's no prior use of searchin' for the mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside

And a cheerless pyre we will set alight

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand

I routed a labyrinth to your lap

I never used a map, sliding off the land on an incidental tide

And along the way, you know they try, they try

We got sea legs and we're off tonight

Can't have that to which they've no right

You belong to a simpler time

I'm a victim to the impact of these words and this rhyme

'Cause when the dead moon rises again

Be no time to stall a protocol to hem us in

Darlin', when the dog slides, open the door and where'd she go?

There's no time or use of searchin' for the mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside

And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
