Boats

Well the ocean is a monster

And the waves are a killer

Swallowed my baby whole



Now her tombstone is a coral reef

Under shifting sand my love is buried deep

But never as deep as the beauty in her soul

The god damn thing swallowed my baby whole





I used to smoke mother nature

Now tell me who is burning who

It’s here my love was lost

In sunlit wonder she was tossed

All for black sea teeth to chew





I used to smoke mother nature

Now tell me who is burning who

I’m gonna build a boat

A wooden tomb to float

Just long enough -- i’m gonna sink it where my baby lies
