Ocean spread for me Open to misery Full moon like a streak on your skin No deeper lonesome than the ocean my friend Soft like a wave and quiet like a knife But it is a wasted life O son love of mine Don't follow so close behind Full moon on your five year old skin
I hope you're never as lonesome as I've been But I had no choice when the sea called my name I had no way of knowing this day If the head of the house is drumming Don't blame the children for dancing Fierce like a swan and quiet like a knife And it is a wasted life
