lyrics

Early one morning in the cold blue hunger
cold tea on the counter and the rain falling down
The sky is a patchwork of silk and old denim
wrapped in white linen to lay on the ground

So wake me up sailor, we’ll stagger and sway
The things that we’ve known have all passed away
Wake me up gently to the truth of this world
Spinning and whirling our sorrows away

I love the air
I love the deep water
I love the green valley
where laughing and bravely we lay

There’s something inside that’s only grown colder
and bold as spider trapped under glass
A left-handed rhythm like a street corner drummer
one arm swinging wild, one lost at the shoulder

I love the air
I love the deep water
I love the green valley
where laughing and bravely we lay

So beat the drum slowly
play the fife lowly
and meet me by the river
the next time the human race comes crawling
from the water, like a calf, knocked-kneed and wobbling

Wake me up sailor, we’ll stagger and sway
The things that we’ve known have all passed away
Wake me up gently, then let the light in
I’m wrapped in white linen and dressed for the day
