No one else and no one else's Only the cylindrical sapphire and the girl who carries it Alone In pastures of barley and mint leaves To moan and mourn To lose and to lust for the forgotten treasures of tomorrow But that's where I found her Though she cried for a thousand years I could never see her tears through the damp curtain of my own Alone We slept in sin Separated through passing time by rotting skin and bone And still we wait and wonder at our muddied misfortune Together Until these clouded thoughts blow past

Are Sailors Just the Pilots of My Dreams?
No one else and no one else's Only the cylindrical sapphire and the girl who carries it Alone In pastures of barley and mint leaves To moan and mourn To lose and to lust for the forgotten treasures of tomorrow But that's where I found her Though she cried for a thousand years I could never see her tears through the damp curtain of my own Alone We slept in sin Separated through passing time by rotting skin and bone And still we wait and wonder at our muddied misfortune Together Until these clouded thoughts blow past
