letra de mary on a wave - okkervil river
[verse 1]
coal-black virgin spinning
above an open ocean
i hear, i feel, i need, i know
seven sailors slumming
shipwrecked, seven smudgy mirrors
you gotta let ’em go
[pre-chorus 1]
well i chipped at the royal plates
saw the babies all bathed in champagne
so many miles of dirt i traveled
just to park you in your shade
[chorus 1]
borne away on a wave, alone
borne away on a wave
[verse 2]
well they picked poor robin clean
in the shadow ravine
i seen the bones, i seen his teeth
well, its scar upon the streets
our enemy’s victory’s complete
and they’ll be coming to collect within the next few hundred weeks
[pre-chorus 2]
i get a new sharp shiver in my shoulder
cause i think there’s someone watching
i get a new soft whistle in my ears now
but i guess it’s just time p-ssing
[chorus 2]
borne away on a wave, alone
borne away on a wave
[verse 3]
blessed blue-black virgin shifting
in the ocean’s rhythm
partly living tissue, partly always hidden
give me strength & vision
watch over the earth
it’s listing, lady, like it’s almost broken
all my eyes now closed or open
[pre-chorus 3]
our parents are fading out, fading out, fading out
into the fuzzy fuzz
“i can’t”, i gasp, i gasp in panic
i can’t get enough air into my lungs
i see the bald head of a vulture
come cresting up the stairs
time holds me, greenish-brown
and dying, in a studio somewhere
[chorus 3]
borne away on a wave, alone
and it’s all for you, girl
borne away on a wave
