I didn’t know it was the sirens call, that dragged my body from the dead mans door.
A coastal air will keep you breathing still.
I should have left it well alone, but they took your money and they broke your home.
The coastal air is here to keep you.
And salt water drinks my bones, and it will counsel me to leave the dead alone.
But salt water drinks my bones, and will carry me, and it will carry me.
But it takes a little time, to work on what we know, we know.
But it takes a little more breath than blood, to let it go.
We should have left it on the shore.
The smoke black skyline played the advocate to leave you wanting more or less.
I must confess your conscious state is half awake.
But it could have been so much more.
And salt water drinks my bones, and it will counsel me to leave the dead alone.
But salt water drinks my bones, and will carry me, and it will carry me.
But it takes a little time, to work on what we know, we know.
But it takes a little more breath than blood, to let it go.
I hear the last count coming in
I hear the pounding of the waves.
I see the last lines running down
Like a sea, across the page.
But time wont wait, for me.
Time won’t wait for me.
But time won’t wait, oh no.
If you don’t wait for me.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
