The Shipwreck
In Tandem Cities

She whispered, Hey sailor what's with the coat?
What are you? Fresh off the boat?
Why yes
I just spent four months at sea
My legs are still wobbling
I got salt in my lungs
And my compass broke
Trying to get to the ivory coast

I'm sorry
I never made it home
I was cold and alone
I felt alone
No excuse, no excuse
May I please be excused?
Because there's something that I have wanted to do

Let's pour some wine
Get lost for awhile
Put these ships in the bottle
And forget about time
It's the past
Here's a present that I brought for you
When it opens your eyes will be in full bloom
No it's really nothing
But I shined it like new
I was cold and alone
In a dark wooden tomb

When I wrote you this song I was at sea
Yeah I was a shipwreck strung out on some reef

You said, Let's just be friends
But can we take off these coats?
Then maybe I'll make it to the ivory coast
