On a planet blue with spits of sand,
stay dry, try
Where the tides steal ships in moon-lit nights,
plans fall awry
All the books are lost and mouths forgot
who's George VI?
Where the course is wrong goodbye it's gone
stay dry, try
Where mountains are storms and valleys we travel are waves
and the spray flays the skin til its salty and stays,
you try to stay dry but you can't
it's hard to trust a man... where women are
captains of pacified crews
need their strength
to make it through
this damp day and age
where drinks could not begin to soothe...
There are men who float where tides will go
trust in rain
there are men who swim to catch their prey
webbed hands gained
there are men who sail in crews of few to
catch the rain
and our heroine is one of these
Osgood...
Where mountains are storms and valleys we travel are waves
and the spray flays the skin til its salty and stays,
you try to stay dry but you can't
it's hard to trust a man... where women are
captains of pacified crews
need their strength
to make it through
this damp day and age
