The Sky and The Sea

Tug this ecstasy toward the moon
said the sky to the sea
hanging on the hook of your tune
said the sky to the sea

Splendor flashes out today, tonight
said the sky to the sea
I have painted you with pure light
said the sky to the sea

Shone in the sun
all rivers that run
tributaries pay tribute to you
the contrast of blue on blue
I don't know where you begin
and I end
maybe we can blend
but what are we meant to be
said the sky
to the sea

Tug this entropy toward the stars
said the sky to the sea
hang my hopes above the cars
said the sky to the sea

Blue-green entropy, rare beauty
from the sky to the sea
like October opal and July ruby
I'm the sky and you're the sea

Swim in the stars
over all people and cars
on the feather of love you will die
like a moment I left out to dry
I don't know how you feel
but I feel
maybe we can steal
a little shine from the sea
said this guy
to the girl he needs

And at dusk, under a fingernail moon
we'll watch the circus tent come down too soon
we'll taste salt on our lips
and make sure this picture fits
Vincent Van Gogh draped in green envy
XO, XO,
love,
from the sky to the sea.

"I will hang on the hook of your splendor" -Snow Patrol, 'Dark Roman Wine'
