Cast a Hook in Me

Breathe life to the street from the mouth
 Those ruby red lips have much to give
 Pull life from the land with your capable hands
 Those life loving beautiful broken hands
 Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel
 At the cosmos pink and bright
 All the pages flipping backwards
 Til time is gone and wrong is right
 Rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea
 Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
 Sing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone
 With watery cheeks down flowered lanes
 Tattered sails on a ramshackle ship, I'll go pale
 Staring straight in the face looming tempest waves
 Otherwise I'll wither and die here
 On this reach of rubble rambling
 With two years filled up with sand, dear
 In a broken daze I'll be scrambling
 Like rivers running up the hills and to the sky and down to the sea
 Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
 Summer sky falling into the sea, taking part of me
 See the bones on the sand in the light
 All the heards of the sea rushing by, pay no mind
 To the dancing reflections gone wild
 And at night a fractured star fell
 And pierced right through the thick of me
 I cried out in pain and joy, yes
 I'm not dead, not numb, not withering
 Like a falling leaf who keeps her green
 I'm turning bright in the sea
 Where a merman with a twinkle casts a hook in me
