Trade your tea cup of sorrow for a morsel of delight,
Trade your apathetic afternoons for one unblinking night.
With your battle scars and beauty
and your velvet undertone,
Sail, with me, the freckled ocean
and befriend a foe.
All my bright kites of desire tug away all day
and the wind is pulling harder than the will to stay.
Leave the anchor at the harbor
and throw away the chain.
Sail with me, the freckled ocean
past the pier of your pain.
Are you yellow as all butter with your class rings
and your youthful fears expanded like a woman's curves.
Will you birth a better moment?
Will you kiss it on the head?
Sail with me, the freckled ocean
as you rise from bed.
When I find my run,
How will I know?
How will I know?
Will I turn to stone?
Or will I go?
Oh, Oh, Oh
All the grass along the seashore
is bowing in the breeze,
Like the lashes of the bashful down upon their bended knees.
There's the memoir of an elephant
and every tiny seed,
Sail with me, the freckled ocean,
for as long as you need.
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
