lyrics

you wake up and find that your heart
has left you alone to your thoughts
without a compass you search the sky
as opaque as the mariner's rime

the sirens, those misfit toys
the bodies, capsized on the shores
where the ocean gets craggy and bare
she asks you to wait for her there

linger yet a while
thou art so fair
and be with me tonight
my love don't despair

these whirl pools and watery graves
where you'll drown as you wait
until the moment that you decide
to paddle against the tide

for the swell and its decay
will exist til the end of days
like clouds hung dry
or the star soaked sky

linger yet a while
thou art so fair
and be with me tonight
my love don't despair
