The Dreaming Sea - Karen Matheson

The dreaming sea

Flexes in the lilac light

You’re the moon and I’m the tide

Cradle my head

Kiss me like you wish me dead

Breathe life into me

Till I feel as though I’ll never sleep again

When I close my eyes I feel the whole world spin

Till I don’t know where you end, where I begin

The dreaming sea

Whispers, «It's too late to be saved»

The next kiss could be the ninth wave

The bluff clouds sway

Rain drops like pennies in a well

We spiral down into the deep

Till I feel as though I’ll never sleep again

When I close my eyes I feel the whole world spin

Till I don’t know where you end, where I begin

You and me

Upon the bare teeth of the rock

At the mercy of the dreaming sea

Till I feel as though I’ll never sleep again

When I close my eyes I feel the whole world spin

Till I don’t know where you end, where I begin
