So half-blind, we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood. Main Verse: Clean/Reverb
AmYou caught me making eCyes at the other boatman's wiEves, And heard me laughing loGuder at the jokes told by their daAmughters. I'd set my course for laCnd, but you well undeErstand, It takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waAmters. The propeller's spinning blCades held acquaintance with the waEves, As there's mistakes I've mGade no rowing could oAmutrun. c E The cloth low on the mast, I say I got no past, I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's Amson. The tarnish on my brCass, the mildew on my glEass- I'd never want someone so crGass as to want someone like Amme. But a few leagues off the shCore, I bit a flashing lEure, And I assure you, it was not what I expected it to Ambe! I still tastes its kCiss, that dull hook in my lEip Is a memory as useGless as a rod without a rAmeel. To an anchor ever droCpped, sea-sick yet stEill docked, Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wAmheel. Floating forgetfully alCong, with no need to be stErong, We keep our confessions loGng, but when we pray we keep it sAmhort. I drank a thimble full of fCire, I'm not ever coming bEack... Oh, my AmGod. "I do nCot exist," we faitEhfully insist, While watching sink the heGavy ship with everything we kAmnew. And if ever you come nCear, I'll hold up high a miError.
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as you!
