lyrics

Take some time to dry off your mind.
Crest and crash, resist the tide.

Learning to live is like walking on an icy lake --
hearing each crack and falling hard on your face.
You gaze up, you make love in the vacuum
apart from everyone else, floating in yourself --
forging sediments into sentiments
and back again.

Bathing too long, like chalk our skin gives away
to raisin limbs in feeble choreography.
Crawl to sand, take your stand, now the gods swim
and we send them all back to the springs from which they came.
I’m talking perfect human harmony --
like damn, man.

Take some time to dry off your mind.
Crest and crash, resist the tide.

Mermaid and man -- I kissed her hand and then she vanishes.

9 pm vigil out on the wine dark sea.
Across the water there -- twenty lights flickering.
We’re hanging on.
We’re hanging on.

Supper club lit up out on the highway ridge.
Foghorns echo soft from a boat passing the bridge.
We could rest right here.
Why not rest right here?
