We Must Be Ships (Live)

You know in my heart, you're a stowaway
 And though I've sent in the dogs
 I can't seem to make you go away
 In spite of all of the floods
 And I've asked Poseidon to find him who's hiding
 Safe on my last vintage of hope
 A drug deeper than water
 Held in something that floats
 And you are a barrel-rider
 The most tenacious kind
 And you are all promises
 And I am all wine
 Our chronicle littered with farewell dinners
 You topping off my glass
 Before we pass
 Before we pass
 But all I taste is salt
 When we kiss, when we kiss
 The way we pass in the night
 The way we pass in the night
 We must be ships
 I flashed you a signal
 You gave me a bow on your way through
 With all our appointments
 It's all that we had time to do
 We love our traveling, though rigging's unraveling
 My canvas sails' getting torn
 Though I lead the way like a mascarone
 I can't say I know where I'm going
 But all I taste is salt
 When we kiss, when we kiss
 The way we pass in the night
 The way we pass in the night
 We must be ships
 I found your name
 Finger-written in sand
 Last time I made land
 And I would leave you a note
 But I know
 It just won't last
 No it won't last
 And you are a barrel-rider
 The most tenacious kind
 And you are all promises
 And I am all wine
 But all I taste is salt
 When we kiss, when we kiss
 The way we pass in the night
 The way we pass in the night
 We must be ships
 The way we pass in the night
 The way we pass in the night
 We must be ships
