Raga

Lyrics

When he came home from the ocean
 I would lay him down
 One by one uncurl his fingers
 Calloused, cold and brown
 I would take his day inside me
 Sparks of violent clanging steel
 Shouts of workmen in the shipyard
 Watch the seabirds reel
 Salt of sea and salt of body
 Grease upon his head
 Rocking of the ships at anchor
 There inside the bed
 When he came home from the ocean
 Tired and dirty, half undressed
 I would take his day inside me
 That was when I loved him best
 When he came home from the ocean
 Tired and dirty, half undressed
 I would take his day inside me
 That was when I loved him best
