Caedmon - Sea Song
"All alone stands the clown with tears in his eyes
And stares to the east at the dawn
Where sky kisses sea who smiles in return
And the sea strokes her face with his warmth
And those you thought you could leave with the tide
Are now where you know you must be
And farewell is over, hello is today
And between you no more lies the sea"
Jeff Buckley- Lover, You Should've Come Over
for a long time whatever it means, for a thousand cigarettes
and buckets of wine, for rivers of tears and for poems
walking around the room, for ghosts in the windows, for stifled shouts and for
thoughts on stilts, for cold nights and for wandering minds, for the clotting of blood,
the hours of complaining, the nightmares in the deep, for the tiredness in the mornings,
for everything and for the waste of time-
to come to the simple life and in an easy way : shouldn't we come?
and buckets of wine, for rivers of tears and for poems
walking around the room, for ghosts in the windows, for stifled shouts and for
thoughts on stilts, for cold nights and for wandering minds, for the clotting of blood,
the hours of complaining, the nightmares in the deep, for the tiredness in the mornings,
for everything and for the waste of time-
to come to the simple life and in an easy way : shouldn't we come?

Salt & the Sea Gregory Alan Isakov
Train station, I know you all too well
Tainted in salutation
And I’m going back where I belong
With the salt and the sea and the stones
Save them all for me
Train station, I know you all too well
From the boarding we all came and fell
Into your room
The tracks raced beneath our feat
Through square windows, so clean
Well I could see them walking away
I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones
Save them all for me.
As you lay sleeping on the cloth seat beside me
I stood awake there dreaming
Some other form to be
And the words you could say
That would always keep me near
Is stay..stay
I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones
Save them all for me.
