Brazos - Saltwater lyrics

On the landing there in the slip stream On the sweet beams of by and by I am standing in the wet dream Of a giant in the sky And i wonder does it enjoy me Like the fresh fruit on the street That leaks the sweetest nectar And then spoils in the heat When waking, i feel a terror Of the memory of night For a second, only to loose it For my eyes can't bear the sight So i look to you, my only real friend Brother ishmael Commanding the view from the crow's nest On a ship setting sail Capsules of blue and gold Weave themselves round me Billow! billow! They cover my eyes They keep me satisfied I had a friend one time He packed up all his things and he left Us behind And i still can't tell you why I remember him most clearly in The moments before the flash And i wonder if it was me or him That set in motion the gash And i question how could i get so Close to such a cold heart And i question if the cold heart Was in me from the start Ishmael, you are the reader Of every man in every sea And i'm sure you could tell the story Much better than me Cause all i see is honest confusion And this is truly heartfelt I'm like roshaman's woodcutter In the trees waiting for help Capsules of blue and gold Weave themselves round me Billow! billow! They cover my eyes They keep me satisfied I had a friend one time He packed up all his things and he left Us behind And i still can't tell you why Weather is the ether Sandbags and salt Towers of grey matter Thundering a cough The fingers of a tall moan A howl that can't be heard Keep on singing, bird The cayman islands Are just islands Where men come and go And the wood on the pier Must be replaced Every few years or so
