6. The ocean’s overflowed


By the shore for a long long time

Made a building out of sand

Water close to land

My toes are getting cold


And the morning after tide

Sea is twice as wide

Waves grow greedy and high

Swallowing deeply


I’d fight the highest godsend

I built this house for you

But each night our home collapses

A stone house’s better for a girl like you


Spent the whole night diving, blind

For something I could never find

A future left behind

The ocean’s overflowed


And water feels so warm

Gently out of harm

A shelter for the lovesick


I’d fight the highest godsend

I built this house for you

But each night our home collapses

A stone house’s better for a girl like you


I’d walk the deepest abyss and I’d bring back every little grain I’d lose

But each night it all commences

And that’s too crazy for a girl like you
