Elvis Costello - "The King Of The Unknown Sea" lyrics

[Verse 1] Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald j**els There lie the broken spines of seven ships The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips [Chorus] I am the king of all of you The timid land The unknown sea And all that lies between [Verse 2] So then come away you frail of breath You feeling tired of life And scared of d**h You stain the air with your half hearted wit A few steps more will make an end of it [Chorus] [Verse 3] She'll wander on a strand of dying light She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers The coral and the pearl that hold you tight May grace the throat of those the ocean spares
