letra de suffer the wait - the spook of the thirteenth lock

unquiet dreams
on a hospital bed
stirred the yearning
unspoken, unsaid
i can’t keep up the pace
the tanks are overheating
words begin to race
go backwards and repeating
slip out the cracks of early morning out the door
bleary eyed with coffee, vacuum, mop the floor
cut the anchor, drift into the murky water
pitched upon the waves, they carry me away
my hands are tied, i’m stuck to watch you as you falter
fumbling these things that still i cannot alter
i will suffer the wait
with patience and with grace
cough and whistle
in the gaol courtyard
sup on thin gruel
still under close guard
i can’t keep up the pace
the tanks are overheating
words begin to race
go backwards and repeating
slip out the cracks of early morning out the door
bleary eyed with coffee, vacuum, mop the floor
cut the anchor, drift into the murky water
pitched upon the waves, they carry me away
my hands are tied, i’m stuck to watch you as you falter
fumbling these things that still i cannot alter
i will suffer the wait
with patience and with grace
naivety, naivety, the bottom i will never see
naivety, naivety, the fault that broke the back of me
the birds are screaming in the trees
they think they’ll die with dignity: naivety, naivety
i will suffer the wait

- the spook of the thirteenth lock
