[00:-3.00]Laura Veirs - Cast A Hook
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]Breathe life to the street from the mouth
[00:05.66]Those ruby red lips have much to give
[00:08.82]Pull life from the land with your capable hands
[00:14.05]Those life loving beautiful broken hands
[00:17.16]Oh, I'll stand with you and marvel
[00:20.14]At the cosmos pink and bright
[00:23.50]All the pages flipping backwards
[00:27.01]Til time is gone and wrong is right
[00:30.14]
[00:30.85]Rivers running up the hills
[00:32.54]and to the sky and down to the sea
[00:36.76]Where a merman with a twinkle
[00:39.94]casts a hook in me
[00:42.43]
[00:47.29]Sing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone
[00:52.33]With watery cheeks down flowered lanes
[00:55.37]Tattered sails on a ramshackle ship,
[00:58.59]I'll go pale
[01:00.14]Staring straight in the face
[01:01.88]looming tempest waves
[01:03.70]Otherwise I'll wither and die here
[01:06.69]On this reach of rubble rambling
[01:10.06]With two years filled up with sand, dear
[01:13.78]In a broken daze I'll be scrambling
[01:16.67]
[01:17.43]Like rivers running up the hills
[01:19.03]and to the sky and down to the sea
[01:23.38]Where a merman with a twinkle
[01:26.50]casts a hook in me
[01:29.52]
[01:53.59]Summer sky falling into the sea,
[01:56.90]taking part of me
[01:58.55]See the bones on the sand in the light
[02:01.78]All the heards of the sea rushing by,
[02:05.18]pay no mind
[02:06.81]To the dancing reflections gone wild
[02:10.10]And at night a fractured star fell
[02:13.28]And pierced right through the thick of me
[02:16.74]I cried out in pain and joy, yes
[02:19.90]I'm not dead, not numb, not withering
[02:23.30]
[02:24.19]Like a falling leaf who keeps her green
[02:26.24]I'm turning bright in the sea
[02:30.06]Where a merman with a twinkle
[02:33.06]casts a hook in me
[02:36.27]
[03:12.95]End
