Whisper of Shells

Whisper of Shells
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
From the centre of my lip
Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
In the middle of my ribs
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack
Up and down my back
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
Way out on the water
Far far out to sea
I let go of the land
The land that let go of me

The Gull he flies beside me
No companion more
Straight on to the horizon
Back against the shore
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
From the centre of my lip
Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
In the middle of my ribs
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack
Up and down my back
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
I shall drift forever
Upon each shifting wave
Above the endless fathoms
From now until the grave
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
From the centre of my lip
Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
In the middle of my ribs
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack
Up and down my back
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
