Maybe your tongue's a ruddy seafloor
Buried in its night
Just shy of the constellations you guide by
Whispers of light
Beneath the surface of sound sayings
Mirroring their time
What you mean to say burns silent as starshine
Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind

(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time

Sounding out the shapes
Now of your most beautiful dreams
The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen
Send up words to tide us over
Bubbles in the flood
From our new Atlantis somewhere beneath the sea of blood

I'm diving now to meet you
We can dance beneath the flagless moon

(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time

Finally the tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man
Chewing scars into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come

You just needed some time

Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing

Rising out the sea your words shine
Finally the tide has come
