lyrics

Salt skin and warmth of shallow whiskey
Filthiest smile in all the duchy
The rumours out, the curses have returned…
Born of contradiction, with nothing certain
untenable expectations
The paths we walk were always bound to merge

Forget the fear, false joy and struggle
Step into the waves
Where tree is hung, and well is dressed
For the mizzle eyed maiden of the west

I found the punchline in your jokes
Ring the bells and man the boats
You sing to me and dance with shaking fist
I close my eyes and reach to you
Light the beacons, spread the news
My dreams are slipping anchor in the mist

Forget the fear, false joy and struggle
Step into the waves
Where tree is hung, and well is dressed
For the mizzle eyed maiden of the west

We lay it thick and we strip it back
We paper over every crack
With rusting, rabid, knowing, bowstring curve
I fear for love outside our fiction
Of pinhole stars in blackout curtains
I project on you once more this foaming world

Forget the fear, false joy and struggle
Step into the waves
Where tree is hung, and well is dressed
For the mizzle eyed maiden of the west
