And softly spoke tame heart
You long for better vocal cords
To push right through your teeth
Without the guts to miss a beat
Ide and idle bones
Keep still in their homes
Brave the open sea
Too drunk to believe
Roll and now play dead
Hedging on the safer bet
And longing to be free between
The devil and the deep blue sea
Lay and laid aside their minutes
Hours, days and weeks
Never did we witness records
Nor a friend in need
There's no lock and key
To make it hard to see
The timid turn of phrase
Is etched upon your face
