Ship Out On The Sea

Be Good Tanyas · Chinatown [2003]

"i'm a ship, i'm a ship, i'm a ship

out on the sea

none of my loves floating wild

come back to me

so i'll write you a letter, i'll write you a letter

with this here pen



don't make me wait, don't make me wait

'cuz i'm your friend



i'm in love with the garden

that is down the street

and the earth is a warm thing under my feet



oh long streams of light

lift me, from this dirty town

cuz i'm losing stain, soak me yeah with

rain

rain, rain, rain



i'm a ship, i'm a ship, i'm a ship

out on the sea

and all these clouds flying by so fast

well they confuse me

and the long leaves in the tall tress

pale in the sunshine

and i was twistin' and turnin'

in the cool sheets past bed time



plant me in the garden

don't you let me roam

cuz love is a feeling like a warm dark stone
