Sweetness & Tremendous Sea It's a tremendous sea eyes shimmer up and down the surface of dreams the curved coastline of you splayed wingtips of silver tides dancing for the moon Sweetness comes in hues of hidden love, a lipstick scar and a surrender dove, you hoist up your desaturated ribbon of spring, and clear my creaking decks of every painful thing fly the clear slate of a too blue summer yeah I can go under, and it just might be the magnet I'm dying for You're a hushed October hair of autumnal darkly spills it's taking me over hearts carved on skin and trees framed by shards of brilliant green rapture has lifted me Sweetness comes in tones of iconic lust, a blue-green painted eye blushed like the first breathe of sunlight lemon burst, though it goes down easy it doesn't quench any thirst sighing like a snake highway summertime oh I could feel fine, and I just might be the feeling you're reaching for The wreck of my emotions mast ripped on your loving but raging oceans this compass spin I've seen her name painted on the stern like a fading dream And lo and behold! Into that dream we flow like a Gram Parsons overdose, scarlet down by the tresses of the sea, just you n' me, pulling like naive children on the tendrils of our love stoking the fires of all our love yeah tripped up in wires and slinging the mud waiting for the rain to saturate us just enough just enough to glorify this love... (and along comes the Association to sing: ) Enter the young, believe the daily lie of life looking for a little sun the jagged edge of age through thirtysomething or other color bleeds the page And along the dense grove of adoration it goes to align our love into a blazing phoenix pose sliding along the surface of dreaming free and reflected in the ripples of such a tremendous sea And ooh that sweetness it comes in death throes of autumnal loneliness, splayed wingtips of new blue-green tidings dancing for love of you n' me yeah you n' me "I will hang on the hook of your splendor" -Snow Patrol, 'Dark Roman Wine' |
