Play Crack The Sky Lyrics

Play Crack The Sky

We sent out the SOS call. It was a quarter past four in the morning when the
storm broke our second anchor line. Four months at sea, four months of calm
seas only to be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point. They call
then rogues, they travel fast and alone. On hundred foot faces of God's good
ocean gone wrong. What they call love is a risk, cause you will always get hit
out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own. The hole in the hull defied
tthe crews attempts to bail us out. And flooded the engines and radio and half
buried bow. Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words
past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will
strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea or
dashed to bits on the reef. The vessel groads the ocean pressures its frame.
Off the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and rain. And I wish for
one more day to give my love and repay debts. But the morning finds our bodies
washed up thirty miles west. They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
through still and storm. But this ain't the Dakota, adnt the water is cold. We
won't have to fight for long. This is the end. This story's old but it goes on
and on until we dissappear. Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
while you were underneath. I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
sunk below the sea. I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all
could mean. I know that this is what you want. A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You kno that you are not alone. Need you like water in my lungs. This is the
end.
