Omens On The Midnight Ferry
A cactus has spines
To keep its water safe
You're thirsty, I know
Why else would you come to this place?
Oh, there's nothing here
For you or for me
But to sit dumb and drooling
At the wonder of memory
You say you liked it just like that
So why can't it be just like that?
Our cab ran late
And so we missed the ferry
It drifted on through the fog
Dark and hushed and eerie
No lamps lit on deck
But 'neath a full and yellow moon
I saw strange shapes dancing
And felt something would die soon
You knew you had no equal
And as such, you'll have no sequel
Far away, unknown to us
Miles from any home
An eagle wings weightless
Just feather and bone
With nowhere to land
Impressions of water and sky
Then right before she falls
One quiet, empty sigh
To keep its water safe
You're thirsty, I know
Why else would you come to this place?
Oh, there's nothing here
For you or for me
But to sit dumb and drooling
At the wonder of memory
You say you liked it just like that
So why can't it be just like that?
Our cab ran late
And so we missed the ferry
It drifted on through the fog
Dark and hushed and eerie
No lamps lit on deck
But 'neath a full and yellow moon
I saw strange shapes dancing
And felt something would die soon
You knew you had no equal
And as such, you'll have no sequel
Far away, unknown to us
Miles from any home
An eagle wings weightless
Just feather and bone
With nowhere to land
Impressions of water and sky
Then right before she falls
One quiet, empty sigh
