Robert Wyatt - Sea Song lyrics

rate me

You look different every time you come<br />

From the foam-crested brine<br />

Your skin shining softly in the moonlight<br />

Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale<br />

Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?<br />

Joking apart - when you're drunk you're terrific when you're drunk<br />

I like you mostly late at night you're quite alright<br />

<br />

But I can't understand the different you in the morning<br />

When it's time to play at being human for a while please smile!<br />

You'll be different in the spring, I know<br />

You're a seasonal beast like the starfish that drift in with the tide<br />

So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon<br />

You're madness fits in nicely with my own<br />

Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, my very own<br />

<br />

We're not alone

<br />
