lyrics

ALEWIFE

chasing the waves
crashing down on
and splashing around my face
amazing that they
never make good
on those threats they make
to swallow me whole
to hollow my soul
defiant, i deny them that
to leave in good faith
believing that they
would somehow find
their own way back
to the shore

and i'd bring you along
if you have a moment left
and i'd sing you a long-forgotten song
about the day my ship came sailing in

and i thank you a lot
every time my eyes awake
and i'll be thinking of you
every time i see that ship come sailing in
