about

A song about proximity, distance and the potentials embedded in silence.

lyrics

The Linen Sea

This is the silence in which things die.
This is the stillness in which love seizes and hides alone
So cross the sea and dance with me...
So cross the sea to dance with me.

This is the distance across which I pine for you.
This is the darkness that harbors villains and gods and theives.
So send a boat, a scout, a sailor, a soldier,
a paddle, a barrel and a small ration of hope.

Dance, baby, dance!
Dance til you shake!
Dance, baby, dance!
Dance til you break!

Break on the coast, coast on the wind,
wind me around and around til I’m spinning.
A sail is a sheet, a sheet is a shroud,
a shroud is a cloud that hides all the guides in the sky.

I am lost now.
I am lost now.
I am lost.

This is the silence in which things grow.
This is the stillness in which love shivers and opens slow.
So cross the sea and dance with me.
So cross the sea to dance with me.

Dance, baby, dance!
Dance, baby, dance!
Dance til you shake!
Shake til you break!

Break on the coast of me.
I’ll break on the coast of you.
