about

Performed and written by Brooke Sharkey

lyrics

She set out building her rail
Number to number, Nail to nail,
No doubt in the cause, she took it slow,
One by one straight like an arrow.

Temple her school, She left at good time,
Exiting the door at the scream of the chime,
No wild in her eyes, it was rooted low,
sometimes it would appear in the hand of her shadow.

She had plenty a sibling to bounce off and hide from,
Some would stay on their knees, others long gone,
and occasionally , you'd see the cross hanging high,
fed their truth, their only Lie.

Da da da...

She fell in love, with a man on a boat
His sails were high, he could keep them afloat
But her bones ached and he would grind his ivory body on their love
left behind.

She was the type to keep her end of the bet,
but with nothing to feed off, half way she met,
a married man, soft and strong,
his heard of silk had been stamped upon.

Da da da...

Years went by in a cushioned cage,
His children had jumped the stream and ages,
with stale humor and cheeks wet,
She's in denial of an emotional dept.

This dept, whatever side it may lay,
Needs and fountain pen and a ruler I say,
cos she returned, young and bright eyes to a sailors wife
who couldn't hear her cry.

Da da da...
