Seasick

Would've cut the bells down
Would've stopped the wake
If no belfry's ringing
Then you're still awake

Would've fasted firmly
Would've scraped my sack
Would've laid down Fanny
Would you've come back

So on the seventh morning
By the water bank
Still no tide incoming
Since the last ship sank

So I filled the river
Flushed the stones left dry
I obeyed the engraved urgings
"If you can see me - then cry"
Mmm

Did I pick the bluebells
Did I wash your marks
Did the seabirds sing when I
Walked down the barque

So on the seventh evening
Where the sea meets land
Come the tide before me
Traded sails from sand

So I left the river
For the waves and sky
And I cried towards your resting
"If you can hear me - goodbye"

Hey
Now I'm
Rushing forwards
Towards promised land
Keep my feet up running so I
Won't look back

See the sunlit future
From my shadow lane
Had your body tied to mine
Now I get phantom pain

For the rest of my days
I'll be seasick
Mmm
