Whalers and Sailors

from The Rogue Sessions by Sarah Donner

/

lyrics

Gravity’s stronger than all this fear mongering
but it’s more fun to be scared than tied down
That which divides us can also unite us
but irony went out of style and out of this town
out of this town

I get distracted and can’t be proactive
with scuppers and sails in my periphery
I will eat better before I eat butter
and season my quahogs with salt from the sea
salt from the sea

I’m fairly certain I’m more than what I hear
But I haven’t heard if it’s here or if it’s there
If someone asked me I’d be all they want
I’ll wait for you in the parking lot
I’ll wait for you in the car

I know the ocean it’s where I came from
Home is the smell of the beach at low tide
Once there were whalers, well now there are sailors
We all have ghosts in the back of our mind
back of our mind

Who will I marry and who will carry me
Into the ground and out of this life
Scatter me over the mouth of the river
let me dissolve like the stars into night
stars into night

I won’t be the lily maid who drifted off the shore
laid down in her boat and was heard from no more
Hurricanes will drown me before heartbreak does
Tape up the panes of love
Wait for the rain to come

I’m fairly certain I’m more than what I hear
But I haven’t heard if it’s here or if it’s there
If someone asked me I’d be all they want
I’ll wait for you in the parking lot
I’ll wait for you in the car
