The Cottars - On A Pier lyrics

I lost hold of your heart Like a fish on a pier And it slipped away into the sea But if just for tonight Won't you bring me a scale To crush into powder and dust like a veil Of your presence and sharp souvenirs And I'd spread it like spice On my bed in my cell All over my pillow and under my sheets And I'd float into sleep To the salt and the smell Of your brine and a broken man's tears And I know what a wonderful sleep I would get With the rocks off my deck And a fish in my net And a lathering moon Like a man in a sweat With your brine and your broken man's tears With your brine and your broken man's tears
