lyrics

Daughters of the sea
Is it over now?
If this nightcap is slow
I'll win my way out of the house

Cauterized she thinks things over
How can she like without love?
Stay widowed to a vow?

Tied up on the pier
Your tresses curl
And the wind catches us
Like vagrants on murderers' row

(Rows) that we had not seen
Take all of our clout
Keep our sparring on shore
And rosaries strewn 'round the house

Adolescence seems a vagary clouded
Of nights that, stillborn, are worn in a day
Growing old, I get out of sorts
Settle for naught, end up right in the fold
A red sail and tide haunting me

In your likeness I know
The ridge isn't quiet as cold
Fortuneteller's son, little crescendoing life
That I know, a roan carriers my brother down
