Whaling Vessel
Bombadil

my skin is made of the softest oils

does this make me a factory

my fins that take me through the sea

bounty of a royal man

that's trying to get the best of me

on his whaling vessel


my skin is made of the softest oils

destined for the big city

my tail is a gray oragami

bounty of a royal man

who's trying to get the best of me

on his whaling vessel


a thousand miles beside the rails

and then I'm gone before they set the sails on me

in their whaling vessel



a man is a fish that lost his scales

does that make him a lesser thing

tired of land where he is king

nothing noble in the art

of trying to get the best of me

on his whaling vessel


a man is a fish that lost his scales

does that make us family

does he face me honestly

driven by a frail sense of

sharing ancient memories

on his whaling vessel
