She held the pearl to her lips
Pushing it between her little teeth to shine
In waters crystal clear and reflective
I caused a certain dancing around the eyes
Spellbound! I was cast in an unlikely role
Seafarer, captain of the ship
I cut the lines to shore and said her prayers of honor
Did I mention the pearl was gray?
So in the wake of Poseiden did we reach and stretch
Up and out and towards
Dancing beneath all stars to behold
Now these are lazy scenes to paint
But it’s the breeze, the soft warm summer breeze
That I most wish to convey
A tempest without sound
Sneaking up on us in seagull cries
And her bubles and gurgles from down below
So out there we were all alone
In the wake
Drifting to and further fro
Caught between delight and what you know
