Bonnie "Prince" Billy My Home Is the Sea song lyrics
I have often said
that I would like to be dead
in shark's mouth
a woman swimming under
her warm breath sendin' a thunder
on two parts south
and love is stripped and frayed
and duty is delayed
until next life
someone has my mind
holding yes so kind
it is my wife
and my home is the sea
my home is the sea
look not for me
my home is the sea
disaster flies upon me
and i sleep
we can see the house lights
colored from a distance
for a party as a dream
my tongue will into me
my arms unfold these seeds
cause im a strong man
and do not love my tummy
is round and firm and funny
and thats what i am
my home is the sea
my home is the sea
i am under your spell
you will have me i reckon
and the drowning this town
as a drowning i welcome
i know nothing and im over joyed
i know nothing and im over joyed
i know nothing and im over joyed
god gave you life and thought
now its ours to waste
i have the finest love
and the finest taste
see her when im home
i am home
you are home
