Sailors Blue

I saw the lion on the elephant's back
 (((Crawling forever)))
 I heard your name in a book
 Saw your face in a map
 And now I hear your name everywhere I go
 But I'm the quiet, polar, quiet, bear
 Making blankets for the dead
 And how do you make up with the ghost
 To stop the blood running from your nose?
 And the snow is falling hard down
 On this old window
 I thought that summer was near
 But what do I know?
 The taste on your lips
 The lead in your eyelids
 The sea under the boat
 My hands in your raincoat
 I went out to shoot this rock
 Forget the sailor's blues
 I'm in a maze
 (Try again)
 I think I'll sleep in this ghost town
 For a while if you don't mind
 (Go unpack your bag)
