lyrics

sew a boat my love
sew a boat my love

sew a boat
and sail across the ocean
needle and thread
your nimble hands
could build a ship
of indian silk

sew a boat
and sail across the ocean
a mast of roses will catch the breeze
i breath
and lead you back to me

i hope you’re early
or at least you’re lonely
i hope you’re learning
that cages have curtains

paint a plane
and fly to barcelona
spiral skies of violet oil
you’ll find me
where columbus points to sea

paint a plane
and fly to barcelona
i’ll build a frame to keep us safe
and maybe i could make you stay

flailing in the water
pouring over clipper ships
and jungle gyms
so selfish on a silver beach
caught up in mystery
the uneven floors creaking
as you pace the apt
wishing promises were never made
that we never made it to graham station
we never turned our backs on the big city
