letra de the herpetologist - driftwood scarecrow

the breakers are receding
and i’m staring at the bones of the shore
i’m feeling just as weathered
as the vessel fallow in the port
but i don’t have a hull of steel
i wonder how i stay afloat
when someone as abiding as you is on the ropes

well you’re a herpetologist
who really knows the craft
i’m an unemployed psychologist
and not a very good one at that
the one thing we’ve in common
is living through some shifts
and if you hadn’t come along, i would’ve quit

close your eyes and let the morning come
dream the sun and rise to greet the dawn
everybody’s tired, but once you’re gone, you’re gone
the sea is unbecoming, but still we take it on

well late in the semester
my depression was especially strong
but you called me in the evening
and you said that you were searching for frogs
you asked if i was busy
’cause the forest can be tricky at night
and somewhere in the depths of the woods you saved my life
now i wouldn’t say we’re really friends
we haven’t seen each other in years
but even from a distance
i can tell that’s it’s as bad as i feared
they say this epidemic is enough to sink an ironclad
at first it made me angry but now i’m just sad

close your eyes and let the morning come
dream the sun and rise to greet the dawn
everybody’s tired, but once you’re gone, you’re gone
the sea is unbecoming, but still we take it on

the breakers are receding
and i’m staring at the bones of the shore
i’m trying not to think about
the salamanders under the porch
but something in the ocean ebb
is almost more than i can take
there’s nothing i can do to save you
or change the course of fate
there’s nothing i can do to repay you
for either of our sakes

so close your eyes and let the morning come
dream the sun and rise to greet the dawn
everybody’s tired, but once you’re gone, you’re gone
the sea is unbecoming, but still we take it on
