From a Sinking Boat

Album: Realism (2010)

  • In the middle of the night,
    With a sickening sound
    This little boat
    Ran aground
    The mast is twisted, the hull is breached
    One high tide and it'll be beached

    If I could walk, I'd walk away
    But I haven't slept since yesterday
    The ink is sinking, the page is blurred
    And I can't read a single word
    But I know I love you,
    Know what I wrote
    My last words to you
    From a sinking boat. Writer/s: STEPHIN RAYMOND MERRITT
    Publisher: Rough Trade Publishing
