lyrics

We’d been driven from our home
through fields of flowers
and fields of stone
until we hit the shore
I gazed out a the rolling waves
through hair all matted down with rain
too tired from the battle
to think about the war

She sat there on the sand
letting it sift, so slowly, through her hand
as the wind blew through her
and the wind blew cold
I looked up at her face
hungry, defeated and untouched by age
all silk and tulle and roselit bone

Love me like you love the ocean
Love me like you love the open sea
There are horses on the road and
my legs are weak
Love me and stand up to meet them

The dancing, grinning fauna
will come to me at dawn
to drag me off, drunk and bleating
They’ll separate my bones from flesh
and dance my skin around your bed
and you’ll know that I went out screaming

Love me like you love the ocean
Love me like you love the open sea
There are fires out in the field and
I do not sleep
Love me and keep the fire burning
