lyrics

Once (once) do you remember when we hitch-hiked
Through the back of the high country in fading daylight?
Twice (twice) I caught you lookin’ out over my grey sea in your red wet weathers and I swore I wouldn’t hunt what I can’t find (what I shouldn’t find)

But I spend my time
Just five feet high
Thinking I’m looking down
Over your fine
Attempts to bribe
The guards of my grounds
Oh while I’m not around…
But when they don’t talk, do you think of skippin’ town?

Oh well I, yeah I threw myself over the side
And I felt someone grab my ankle underwater and I made such poor attempts to thwart her

But would you dive
Just one last time
And bring me around
Out of my sweet and supple high
I could revive
Whatever I drowned
If it keeps you around
Baby I don’t know what keeps you ‘round

So once (once) before that heady January summer night
Oh I thought my love, I thought my love, yeah I thought my love was watertight.
