lyrics

A hollow vessel, windward blind.
Cast an open window on the leeway side,
And take the boat, drawing in a lifeline.
Give breath to the sail and compass to the time.

A solar sail in a clean slate sky.
Hand over fist, cut-and-run, cross the line.
With a withered rose and a Gibson girl,
Keeping weather eye, a saltwater eye.

Born of the gun with bloodless vein,
An Ahab's heart to fathom a name.

A Phoenix sun in under ash filled skies.
At bitter end as the crow flies.
A soul scarred on a sheet of glass,
Keeping weather eye, a saltwater eye.

A floating world
Floating worlds, floating worlds,
Soul embodied
Souls embodied, souls embodied.

Sewn to the devil's seem,
Pilot by guess and by God.
Holding faith along the waterline thinking,
Lord only knows, Lord only knows.

A floating world,
Floating worlds, floating worlds,
Soul embodied,
Souls embodied, soul in body.
