My Lover's Sea

Lover, place your smoke aside and lay with me
Wrap your frail anatomy around mine
Retrieve me all that I can't find in these skies
Wrap your self around mine like a gull's wing
Lover, you've been gone too long behind my eyes
Testing waters blindly
When Bristol rains, I am closer to the sea
Will I find you there smiling
Will I find you there smiling
Sun relinquish me, your daughter of words
In swords and silence I'll come running
If you should find me and I'm hardened to a stone
Marry my soul to another one
Lover, place your veil aside and stand with me
Underline me in ink
Look into my soul and tell me I'm not free
And I'll be searching across the waves
Will we be better off this way
Will you be better off this way

When I wake I'm gonna dress you in flowers
Soak me in sweetness and honey vine
Mm, your love I can't describe
Bring me smoke from the sky
When I wake I'm gonna whisper you softly
Drizzle your words upon my eyes
Always this old sunrise we paint over night
When I wake I'm gonna dress you in flowers
Soak me in sweetness and honey vine
If you must, place your heart in my palms but
Just for tonight
Spare me your pride
Cus I am conscious of a terrible understanding
Of our china bones holding these ropes we have both sworn to break
And this devastation's our sweetest salvation the same

Sunset patterns as we undress
Unravelling the warp and weft we left behind us
Cinders blackened at the skyline
Wrestling a conquest over time to bide us
Sankofa's alive
Sun winds under night
He who writes must not be blind
Tender heart is at the centre
Gathering a sense of sensibility for such sober things
Come hell or high water
Our sons and our daughters will be
Hiding in libraries under Sankofa's wings
Sunset patterns as we undress
Unravelling the warp and weft we left behind us
