Civilian - Topography lyrics

There was a wave in the middle the sea That, like me, felt for no one-stopped for nothing There was a bow that was buried underneath The crushing depth, the blue vignette That caught you sleeping Bated breath on the open water In perfect time with the rise and fall Of the changing topography Pressing on through the evening The great swell would grow It picked up speed Thirty some feet of unrelenting forcing A spiral walks up the wall of the lighthouse Standing in the sand with the night owls The watchman said to the sea "You ain't got no heart I really don't know why I sit by your bedside I really don't." The blue face avoided the beacon Wrapped in the fog Poseidon's arm revealed a weakness As day breaks, love had turned me to an early bird There on the rocks, quickly as it comes It can leave us A spiral walks up the wall of the lighthouse Standing in the sand with the night owls The watchman said to the sea "You ain't got no heart." The ocean looked at the man and said "You got no power I really don't know why you sit by my bedside." There in my deepest sleep I awake on a foreign shore and I find you You're pulling me like the tide And to my unconscious mind It is here that I am most alive I really don't know why you run to my bedside I really don't
