A Hook

Prancing on the boardwalk of the table
Where underneath swells a carpet sea
Stirring in the sun

Dust waltzing in the beams through curtains
Particles, I can see them
I wish that I could be them
Careful little circles turning

I'm a cat chasing a yellow string
Out of my reach
Like God and the sea
I found a hook

When I saw the ocean for the first time at night
I think I lost myself in the eventide
I had written about the sea before

I thought I'd gotten the details right
But it turns out my poems and my songwriting
Are no truer than my science

I'm a cat chasing a yellow string
Out of my reach
Like God and the sea
I found a hook

I'm a cat chasing a yellow string
Out of my reach
Like God and the sea
I found a hook
Oh, I found a hook and it hooked me
