Sailors Blue

I saw the lion on the elephant's back 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 wall, a quiet bed making blankets for the dead How do you make up with a ghost Who stopped the blood running from your nose? The snow's falling all down on the [Incomprehensible] I thought that snow was here but what do I know? The taste of your lips, the lead in your eyelids The sea under the boat, my hands and your rain pours And I choose to rock and forget the sailors blues today I think I'll sleep in this ghost town for a while if you don't mind
