Lyrics

Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart
Onto the high seas, under surfaces
Through sunken shadows, from old oil-lit shores
To the feline jaw of the tidal swish
And the bright-eyed bite of the cormorant
Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart
I want the wild, wet and the long depths
Strong undertow and tidal concerns
But the harbour lights are drawing me in
I fear dry land, sandbanks and stone
Sail me city to heavens below
Sail me city into depths of dark
Sail me city into the hook of the estuary
Sail me city to the clutch of the heart
And hold me, river, in the filth of the storm
Bring salt from my pores, let my eyes colour dawn
City, sail me away from settled land
Into ocean's wreck and wrath, back into love
Please do not leave me earthbound
