Sailors Blue -

I saw the lion on the elephant’s back

(Crawling forever)

I heard your name in a book

Saw your face in a map

And now I hear your name every where I go

But I’m the quiet, polar, quiet, bear

Making blankets for the dead

And after you make up with the ghost

Do stop the blood running from your nose

And the snow is falling hard down

On this old window

I thought that summer was near

But what do I know?

The taste on your lips

The lead in your eyelids

The sea under the boat

My hands in your raincoat

When I shoot this rock

But get the sailor’s blues in a maze

(Try again)

I think I’ll sleep in this ghost town

For a while if you don’t mind

(Go unpack your bag)
