Ships

Hey, did you hear my call?
Hey, would you catch my fall?
Stepping the mast
Now I’ll take the blow
Tempest and vast
Overboard, no I won’t go

Is it over now?
Is it over now?
Did you tell them how?
Did you tell them how?

Caught by the winds, I was
Struck alive I was
On the tip of the tides
This time

Hey, now you’re 10 ft tall
Hey, was it all my fault? My darling
Sailing away
With one hand and one eye closed
I didn’t know
I would float so far so slow 

Tender and bright, you were  
Golden light, I was
Holding on all the time
Inside

I was an only child
I’m still on my own
Kiss me and watch me smile
There’s more you don’t know

Like an old friend holding on to evidence
Passing by the hours of our relevance
