Sea And Me
Black waves, roiling on a black sea Jagged stood the rock, piercing a sky torn By the brightest silver My bright blue canoe, my bright blue canoe My white oars, my white anchor My bowed head, and salty tears swelling the sea I cared too much about staying afloat To worry about being struck by sky-electricity Jagged rock, it loomed large Bright blue struck black Blue never stood a chance I can't sail, I can't sail the sea My bright blue canoe, hope-blue canoe, Faith-blue canoe, and trusty anchor My spindly oars, patting the water Reassuring the water As the sea laughed at me And the sea laughed at me And tossed me in the air And the sea dragged me down And tumbled me over Cat and mouse, cat and bird, Sea and me.
