A Jar of Sand

I heard the treasure lay
Beneath the sounds of your brittle bay
When I left the shore that day
It looked like the moon
And the deck on the seas, on the storming seas
I can see the southern cross, the southern cross
Tide pools big enough
Tide pools just deep enough to drown in

Lots of drowning girls
Little hands dived for pearls
To wear in your wedding ring
I know, I know what's buried under the sands of your brittle bay

Tide pools big enough to drown in
Tide pools just deep enough to drown in
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
I gave you a jar of sand from the coast
