Before The Ocean Forgets Your Name
Raise a hand above the waterline
beyond broken love, no love,
and so love goes
though she still sings
from the rocks her siren songs -
Tearing at sails, breaking masts
Tearing at souls, breaking hearts
A captain can't always go down
with the ship,
so swim or die trying,
but raise a hand,
and make like hell for shore -
Kissing salt of water, embracing the tide
Kissing panic on the lips, embracing fear
Reach beyond yourself to reach the one
who'll save you,
drag you from the waves,
lay you upon the sand,
before the ocean forgets your name -
