hello ocean hello sky you are both higher and deeper (lower)
than I imagined
living in your seam
hiding out is easy, every man is a cave
put your britches on daisy ain't no spring in you left
holy boots ya got walking on the last of their tread
the sand creeps in and the water
the water she does all the rest

you're my setting sun
on my island of one
can't beg for you to stay
then there'd be no brand new day
to set on fire

in the land of hearts
kingdom of sails
setting themselves free
unfurling against the rails
that try to hold them tight
all through the night
she's velvet and dark
against the stars
they are too far away
teasing with their light
and you, you ...

you're my setting sun
on my island of one
can't beg for you to stay
then there'd be no brand new day
to set on fire
