Lyrics
Perfect water
The dark wind braids the waves
The crazed birds raid the trees
Is this our destiny?
To join our hands at sea
And slowly sink
And slowly think
This is perfect water passing over me
Do you know Jacques Cousteau?
Well, it said on the radio
That he hears bells in random order
Deep beneath the perfect water
Lord, that is frightening
But still, so inviting
(To drown) Drown inside a sound
(And lay) So far underground
And to think (And to think)
And to think (And to think)
This is perfect water passing over me
To flow inside the spiral tide
To drop my eyes like a bride and ride
Across the curve unmarked by borders
It waits for me like an orphaned daughter
(A life) A life of perfect order
(The strange) The strange and perfect water
(A life) A life of perfect order
(The strange) The strange and perfect water
Perfect water
I dream this dream within the deep and warm Gulf Stream
Where two blocks of ice melt into my hands like dice
And I roll seven on the floor of the sea (Seven, seven)
And I roll seven on the floor of the sea (Seven, seven)
And I feel the perfect water washing over me
To flow inside the spiral tide
To drop my eyes like a bride and ride
Across the curve unmarked by borders
It waits for me like an orphaned daughter
(A life) A life of perfect order
(The strange) The strange and perfect water
(A life) A life of perfect order
(The strange) The strange and perfect water
A life
The strange
A life
The strange
