Laura Veirs
Riptide
Riptide pulls me out into the open sea
My toes dangle for a place to stand and be
Oh starry night come and chart a course
Or send me a boat with an anchor set I'll pull myself ashore
Left with essence Of the moon and stars and night
There's no other route
I cannot take self to flight
I'll float here with the shrimp and brine
And on my cheeks and hair The salt will always shine
And with this phosphorescence map A sailor's chart a mermaid's hand Something i'll find
Oh starry night come and chart a course...
