GIRL SAILING

There's a girl out sailing across the bay
In the salt and the soft dust of the day
Bible deep and five leagues blue
And a girl knows best what a girl can do
I'm hoping and praying the sky stays kind
There's a girl out sailing with a breeze behind her

I got it from a friend that the sky looks clear
It just depends who you trust round here
Cos Captain Ahab writes those charts
And horizons change like human hearts
I'm pacing this floor, walking these stairs
There's a girl out sailing, can you see her there?

I don't need a promise, not looking for a guarantee
I just need the sweet sun to keep shining on the holy sea
Jesus of Rockaall, don't put me back on hold
Cos I've got plans and travelling hands
But I swear I'm gonna do what I'm told

Pisces clouds, grey green eyes
Slip jigs and lullabies
She laughed this morning, she cried last night
Then she tied back her hair and she said 'Al right'
There's wingbeats muttering against the skyline
And a girl out sailing in the springtime

Girl out sailing across the bay
West wind blowing and it seems to say
That one day all of the set and the formed
Will bow to the shower and kiss the storm
The rainbow comes, the line gets shorter
But the sun is high and the world is water
