Drunken Boat
I know the skies bursting with lightning
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought he saw
The slow rhythms are streaking daylight
And stronger than gin, vaster than music
The bitter red of love ferments, ferments, our love ferments
If I want a water of Europe, it is the black
Cold puddle where in the twilight
A squatting child full of sadness releases
A boat as fragile as the May butterfly
No longer can I follow
In the wake of the cotton boats
Nor cross through the pride of flags and flames
Nor swim under the terrible eyes of prison ships
I know the skies bursting with lightning
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought he saw
The slow rhythms are streaking daylight
And stronger than gin, vaster than music
The bitter red of love ferments, ferments, our love ferments
If I want a water of Europe, it is the black
Cold puddle where in the twilight
A squatting child full of sadness releases
A boat as fragile as the May butterfly
No longer can I follow
In the wake of the cotton boats
Nor cross through the pride of flags and flames
Nor swim under the terrible eyes of prison ships
I know the skies bursting with lightning
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
