Wreck of a Ship Lyrics

Well, humankind He draws a line He draws a noose Parables and truths Do you remember the water Poured over you? When I jumped in You jumped in too Now songs tell me What life commands But every time I do I keep falling down Now I sing with my eyes wide open Because I can’t bear to close them these days And I’ve got nothing here left to remind me I’m a wreck of a ship tossed on the wavеs I’m a wreck of a ship tossed on the wavеs I pull a scarf Over my head Pull my heart Across the forest Sky of stars Leaves from the fires A smoky breath I wish it was summer Another place Another time The night was yours And you were mine Now I sing with my eyes wide open Because I can’t bear to close them these days And I’ve got nothing here left to remind me I’m a wreck of a ship tossed on the waves I’m a wreck of a ship tossed on the waves I zip a coat Up to my chin Kill the cold I can’t let in Too many thoughts Too many times Clouds and comets Are worlds to find Always a home Always the wind Always in love songs It has to end
