lyrics
Sail on, inside this mouth
Beyond the mist, smoke of the sea,
beyond the reef
I unsee you, I believe you
I unsee you, I believe you
The salty sea, the glassy dark
Wet hands, wet eyes, wet breath, wet heart
The moon it had a golden ring,
From long ago I hear her sing
Sail on, you had your doubts
The mast it creaks, the wind it drives
Salt in your eyes
I unsee you, and I need you
I unsee you, and I need you
The salty sea, the glassy dark
Wet hands, wet eyes, wet breath, wet heart
The moon it had a golden ring,
From long ago I hear her sing
Sail on, inside this mouth, ohhhhh
Beyond the waves, beyond the known
Beyond all hope
Can you see me, do you believe me?
Can you see me, do you need me?
The deepest blue, the perfect dark,
the seaweed ‘round my vessel’s heart
The moon it had a golden ring
The caves the floor see everything
Float on, down below
Shiver my bones, I’m not alone,
I’m coming home.
Sail across the water, sink into the water
Hear the ancient singing
of my briny daughter
The wind undid, undid the knot,
the knot that held my vessel’s heart
Float into the water, deep into the water
Stories pile up here,
treasures for my daughter
The wind undid, undid the knot,
the knot that held my vessel’s heart
La da da da da da da da da da da

Julia still has the whimsy and innocence and imagination I loved in her as a child. What a wonder to hear her bestow these gifts on her niece (and all of us!) Colin Healy
