Song For Sara Coleridge


do you believe in the myth of the rose?

stronger in winter than anything grows

roll in the sun and rock in the free

should’ve known better and you should’ve known me

reef and the shore and the palm and the sea

where i am and we are and i want to be


oh the wide wide world and wild wild sea

out on horizon light beckons to me

walk me down to the water out in the sea

through eyes into lungs the night follows me


come to my skin let me follow you down

under the river where i go to drown

sorrow and fear in the depth of the pint

kisses and roses and all night goodnights

i should’ve known better what i seen before

i put up the ante then tear down the door


the game is a hole and fake and a whore

close out the day then settle the score

got what i wanted but i wanted more

you can follow me in or just watch from the shore


oh the wide wide world and wild wild sea

out on horizon light beckons to me

walk me down to the water out in the sea

through eyes into lungs the light filling me
