The White Birch - Atlantis lyrics

Whenever she's alone Alone that child she dares To flair her icy bones Half naked into the air Just to find the spot The one that makes you weak To draw more than the queen's lot By the end of every week And you can tell me About the useless sea On behalf of the widow Of a sailor soon to be free You can tell me About the useless sea And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair And we can dance like open windows in the evening air Whenever she's alone That woman dares to keep Leaking boats built too low To move us in our sleep And if you find the place The one that made you grow Crowns of flowers in the girl's face Chasing blood into the river's flow And you can tell me About the useless sea On behalf of the widow Of the sailor soon to be free You can tell me About the useless sea And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
